TOPTIME made a winning start in handicaps with a course and distance success and could be worth sticking with given the runner-up has subsequently won. Several make their handicap debuts including Jennivere, a surprise 50/1 winner in novice company here though Haydock runner-up Illies Memories is preferred on her handicap debut. Liberty Bay and Acquisitor were both placed in maiden races at Wolverhampton while Olivia Mary has plenty to find with the selection on last month’s running here.
