Most of these go handicapping for the first time including PERDIKA. She notched-up a treble with last month’s success at Chelmsford and a good run from the runner-up Abbey’s Dream in the previous race would boost confidence. Hey Lyla has placed in novice and maiden company while Hobson Point has gone close over 6f and debuts for a new trainer. Red Maids and Master Of Chant have both gone backwards since showing promise on their respective debuts.
