WAVERING DOWN produced a much better effort when third at Southwell on his handicap debut. There looks more to come over today’s trip and he’s preferred to Maliboo, who ran well for a long way when placed at Chepstow last month. Queen Of The Court finished a decent fourth at Taunton though may prefer faster going while both Nothing Man and Candy Lou ran well over these hurdles before struggling last time. Getaway Honey makes her handicap debut over timber having placed in an all-weather bumper recently and could be in the mix.
