Parikarma finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when second at Wolverhampton but Eponina has been raised a further 8lb as she bids for a hat-trick having won by a head at Nottingham last time. Most of these make their handicap debuts with WATER IRIS making most appeal fitted with cheekpieces having been beaten only a length in maiden company at Ayr on her latest start. Ghazaaly, Appellation, Cabrini and Deep Sigh are other handicap newcomers with preference for the latter back over today’s trip.
