MUQARRED may be good enough on his return and gets a purely token vote in a practically impossible handicap. Sydney Ruffdiamond, Pressure, Pensax Boy and Tommy Docc are other handicap debutants to note. Gabrial The Tiger had slipped down the weights before scoring at Musselburgh and is back up 5lb while Pyrocumulus is upped a further 7lb after landing a couple of lower grade races at Wolverhampton. Cyril went close on the all-weather on his handicap debut while Named Asset and Van Huysen remain unexposed.
