A couple of intriguing newcomers make for a race of considerable interest but FACE VALUE is our call for tonight. Typically for a Brian Meehan inmate, he showed improvement for an outing but while backers last time will have been upset at him missing the places, he kept on in a manner that suggested that he would have learnt plenty for the run. Twice Bitten has to go down as an unlucky loser last time out. He should be able to confirm form with Masonic Lady. Ice Nelly looks to have a future though probably next year rather than this. Kambis is bred to need a little more time whilst Oratouch has to be noted in the market as her yard are unafraid of punting their runners first time out.
