Tinto has won a handicap at Brighton and was beaten less than a length at Bath last time. But KADIZ was third at Wolverhampton recently behind subsequent winner Blyton, now rated 83, and Richard Hughes’ filly may prove good enough handicapping for the first time today. Haadhir is another handicap newcomer usually thereabouts in novice races but Master Matt is less exposed and makes more appeal having gone close at Redcar a fortnight ago.
