FINAL FANTASY was beaten only a head at Lingfield on last month’s handicap debut. Stuart Williams’ filly looks on a decent mark on that evidence and can open her account. The Mehmas Touch finished a close-up fourth at Chelmsford on her reappearance and has a chance on that form but Lochanthem’s improved effort at the same track came over 1m2f. Cuban Fox returns to action and doesn’t look badly handicapped.
