None of these can be easily dismissed in a really tight handicap as even Ballyheigue, well beaten at Sandown last time, scored over C&D before that. RUSCELLO gets the tentative vote given he won on the Polytrack before going close again at Redcar last month and can race off the same mark today. Corsetry has gone close in a couple of handicaps lately and she's not out of this while Debating Society may get involved stepping up in trip and Hurricane In Dubai beat Daliance, who runs in the previous race, at this track in April. Saytara and Yours Ever are others to note as they make their seasonal debuts.
