Adelante showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when third here but Clever Candy’s recent placed effort came over 6f. Johnny Reb won over the same distance here last time but In The Red ran a shocker last month having scored at the track before that. Red Jasper is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort at Southwell while Amniarix is upped in distance for her handicap debut. AMERICAN ENTENTE also goes handicapping for the first time, however, having won at Chelmsford on her first start after wind surgery and the Gosden filly can go in again with further progress expected.
