RISHWORTHIAN is penalised for winning a claimer at Redcar but was conceding weight on that occasion and can go in again in this similar company. Cliffcake failed to figure over 6f on his handicap debut and has yet to race over this far while Sophie B is weighted to beat Cuban Fox having failed to threaten in handicaps. Clever Trucker may figure with an apprentice’s allowance helping her cause and makes most appeal of the rest.
