Planetoid had to dig deep to beat today's rival A Boy Named Suzi when scoring at Newmarket three weeks ago, but there may still be more to come and a 4lb rise doesn't look excessive. However, QAHRIMAN was expected to improve for the step up to today's trip at Ffos Las last time and didn't let supporters down when landing the odds in good fashion. Luca Cumani's charge can follow-up on his handicap debut. Twice Bitten will need to improve again after scoring over a shorter trip here, while Val O'Hara's maiden win at this track may have been overrated judged on her well beaten sixth in a handicap at Ascot last time.
