None of these are easily ruled out in what looks a tight handicap. The recent maiden winners Accidental Agent and Seafarer go handicapping for the first time along with Procurator. Muirsheen Durkin continued his good progress when making a winning handicap debut at Beverley and is only upped 3lb but LA CASA TARIFA was placed in a Class 2 nursery at York last time. Mark Johnston’s filly may prove good enough today dropped in class and stepping up in distance.
