Plenty with claims in this. Never To Be scored over track and trip last week when picking up his first handicap. He should be thereabouts again despite a penalty but MONSEA is just preferred. The latter won at Haydock in good style last month and makes more appeal than other recent maiden winners, New Row and Miss Buckshot. Dutch Interior has won over 5f here and didn't fare too badly stepped up to 6f last time though Sunset Shore continues to find at least one too good off her current mark. Dream And Search is another handicap debutant to consider.
