Having made a winning start at Nottingham, Stagemanship then threw in a bad one at Newmarket on his handicap debut. It's too soon to write him off but JELLY FISH makes more appeal. The latter opened his account with a victory at Beverley, where Power Up was well beaten, and normal progress should see him take care of today's rivals. Kaizen Factor and Ultimate Warrior go handicapping for the first time after posting better efforts on their latest outings while M'Lady Ermyn and Jazzy Lady both made the frame in less competitive handicaps last time.
