RITA’S MAN won a couple of handicaps in the spring. He makes a quick reappearance after finishing third in a much more competitive affair at Redcar on Saturday but is well clear of these on official ratings. Jet Setter won a claimer here in May but that was over 7f. He’s never raced over a trip like this before so stamina is obviously a concern. Traveltalk also steps up in distance and has shown nothing this year while the others have a mountain to climb on these terms.
