Sea The Casper could only manage third on his handicap debut albeit in a tougher race at Ascot and has been gelded subsequently. Asaassi also drops down in class after a poor effort at Goodwood but a chance is taken on WANDERING ROCKS on his first start handicapping. The latter won a decent novices race at Doncaster last time with further progress likely today. Tathbeet also makes his handicap bow and may figure in a tight contest while Bizarre Law won over a longer trip at Goodwood earlier.
