Clarinbridge didn't have the pace for 6f here on Wednesday after a much better effort over this trip. Pepsiwithacap made a winning debut on the track last week when beating SATIN SNAKE just under a length. The runner-up should have no problems taking revenge on the revised terms, however, while Gunners Dream ran his best race to date on his handicap debut last month and is 1lb lower but New Star finished upsides in that latter event but was repeatedly denied a clear run and should have few problems reversing the form.
