Plenty with claims in the opener but WIZARDING has the most scope. Heather Main’s charge made a winning debut in handicaps when scoring over track and trip with the re-opposing Satin Snake back in third and is preferred to Full Intention. The latter won nicely at Chelmsford last week and an apprentice’s allowance negates today’s penalty while Chepstow winner Winnetka, Handytalk and Revolutionary Man step back up in trip with a shout.
