Plenty with claims in this including BEYOND RECALL. Luca Cumani’s filly was placed over a mile at Lingfield on her first start since August and looks up to winning off her current mark. African Blessing was beaten only a length over track and trip last week and could go close again. He’s preferred to the other recent placed horses who all step up in trip. including Medicean El Diablo and The Groove, though Spun Gold and Waqt are less exposed in handicaps having both only found one too good over 7f on their respective latest starts.
