Kenstone just missed out in a protracted fight to the line at Chelmsford last week and steps up a furlong. Intimately has been placed over today's trip but the likes of Carcharias, Herridge and Secret Emotion made only modest handicap debuts and need to improve. I'm Just Saying may fare better on her first start in a handicap and the same comment applies to ROMANTIC COMEDY. The latter is a half-sister to the smart 7f winner Belgian Bill and more is expected of James Tate's filly stepping up in distance today.
