Verdict
Checkitsme escapes a penalty for winning at Leicester last week and should figure again but PAGEANT MATERIAL is taken to improve further now handicapping. The latter landed a novices’ race over 2m here last time and Evan Williams’ mare can go in again. No No Tonic returned a beaten favourite at Taunton recently and Rock On Rita was sent off favourite at Doncaster on her handicap debut but never figured. Get An Oscar finished in front of So Socksy when placed over a longer trip at the track and can figure while Kiera Royale can race off a much lower mark back over hurdles.
