Rochebrune won a novices' race over track and trip recently and can figure on her handicap bow but THEY DON’T KNOW makes more appeal in an open contest. The latter was beaten less than a length at Chelmsford on his handicap debut and looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence. Deacs Delight and Heerathetrack filled the places over 7f here last time and the former attempts a mile for the first time while Tropical Talent, Sir Duke, Ellencarne and Petite Joe may all improve now handicapping for the first time.
