Girlswannahavefun opened her account with a victory over the minimum trip at Leicester but ROYAL MARINER won over course and distance on his handicap debut when fitted with a visor. The headgear remains in place and he can defy a 5lb rise. Jumra posted a better effort in soft ground at Ffos Las last time while Rowdown Roza is steadily improving without yet threatening to win.
