Plenty open to improvement now handicapping including MYSTERY FOX, who failed to show any progress at Beverley but this easier 7f will suit. Exminster drops back down to his winning trip and can figure while Flaming Lord, Outgate and St Andrew's Castle are others making their handicap debuts. Aristobulus struggled in a tougher nursery at York last month but Box To Box improved to place at Newbury and is preferred to Sir Min.
