Cafe Espresso was still beaten a long way when runner-up in novice company here but GUROOR was less than a length behind the winner, despite finishing only fourth over track and trip last time, and she gets the nod handicapping for the first time today. Numero Uno is another making his handicap debut while Elegant Love finished in front of Glorious Dane and Reeth with Li Kui further behind when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month. Redemptive drops in class and steps up in trip for her second start in a handicap and could be thereabouts.
