Treble Treble competed in Listed company last year after landing a novices race and will be more at home at this level while Star In The Making drops back down in trip on her reappearance. Charlemaine and Bowling Russian were successful in lower grade handicaps last time but TOMMY DE VITO, though beaten by Asmund at Newcastle on his debut, scored easily at the same track next time. Clive Cox’ colt has the most scope of that pair and can reverse running on his handicap debut. Love Powerful and Able Kane make most appeal of the remainder.
