Final Rendezvous was narrowly beaten at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and can figure once again. But HALA JOUD (NAP) missed out by a neck behind the progressive Riknnah in novice company here on only her second outing for new connections and she gets the vote to go one better back in a handicap today. Princesse Animale landed a double here in March and is preferred to Harbour Storm and Axel Jacklin while Mutarabes is worth a second glance on his handicap debut.
