Andy Glassonbury got the reluctant Shalianzi's head in front where it mattered at Stratford last Thursday and he'd beaten Keychain very easily here previously. But we won't know whether he'll prove an ideal mount for 7lb claimer George Gorman until they set off. Drummond finished ahead of stablemate Sweet World on the Flat last week but has never won a race of any description. LEE SIDE LADY makes her handicap debut after the obligatory three starts. Noel Fehily takes the ride and Neil Mulholland's winning pointer can get her career under Rules up and running as Toe To Toe has had plenty of chances.
