Nothing can be ignored from the Crisford’s yard at present and LUFU (NAP) is taken to make a winning handicap debut. Successful at Wolverhampton recently, she’s helped by an apprentice’s allowance today and is preferred to Starshot. Ryan Moore gets the leg-up on the latter while Sydney Mews is another with a chance handicapping for the first time. Previous winners Estehwadh and Queen's Eyot failed to cope under a penalties last time and Kind Spirit returned a disappointing favourite at Leicester.
