Times Past won a handicap at Southwell recently and stablemate Port of Leith came good at Lingfield on his latest start. Fume went close at Wolverhampton and Jean Valjean wasn't beaten far when fourth over 6f at Doncaster last month. Intricate never threatened on her handicap debut here but Flaunt It found only one too good in novice company at this venue and makes her handicap debut along with BLACK MEDICK. The latter was beaten only a head over course and distance when caught in the shadow of the post last time so Richard Hannon's filly gets a speculative vote in something of a lottery.
