A couple of these won their respective division’s of the same contest here last time. Mammasaidknockuout was making her handicap debut over track and trip and is 4lb higher while Obtuse finished ahead of the re-opposing Nortonthorpe Boy and has been raised the same amount. Kempton winner Vitalline failed to cope with a 5lb rise on his latest start and a chance is taken on SANDS IN TIME. The latter faced a tougher task in a higher grade at Newcastle on his handicap debut but should fare better at this level and first-time headgear may also bring improvement.
