Eceparti posted a much better effort at Stratford on his handicap debut and is one to consider dropping down a grade. But a chance is taken ETTILA DE SIVOLA also improves handicapping for the first time today having failed to cope under a penalty last time for an earlier win at Sedgefield. James Ewart’s charge gets the vote. Nefyn Point is another likely to improve now handicapping though needs to if he’s to figure while Destined To Shine remains 7lb higher than an earlier success at Hereford and Doncaster winner Man Of The North has been well beaten subsequently.
