ALWAYS A DRAMA found a couple too good carrying a penalty at Lingfield last time having won a novices race over track and trip before that but she gets another chance with improvement likely on her handicap debut. Show The Money and Minuty are others handicapping for the first time and may finish closer as a consequence while both Kraka and Majorette are more exposed types usually thereabouts at this level. Coastal Cyclone returned to action with a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton though has only won a maiden so far in 22 outings.
