None of these inspire confidence but RAJMAN gets a token vote despite being raised 6lb for going close over track and trip last time. Where's Perle and In The Cove posted better efforts on their respective handicap debuts without threatening and may do better today while Torolight was still beaten six lengths when placed at Leicester recently. Dinas Powys was second in a seller over 7f at Wolverhampton earlier and Wayfaring Stranger may prove best of those handicapping for the first time.
