This is something of a lottery with so many making their handicap debuts including Chelmsford winner Typical Woman.

EXMINSTER placed over 7f here last season and, though only fifth when sent off favourite at Beverley on his reappearance, he’ll be sharper for this fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
