SPECIALISE (NAP) finished a close-up fourth in a maiden at Windsor last month. That form is working out well with both placed horses subsequently winning so Roger Varian’s filly gets the nod on her handicap debut with the longer trip likely to suit. Hallalulu ran well at Sandown on her reappearance and will be winning again soon but Colony Queen is raised in class after scoring at Doncaster. The returning Give Me Breath, Innocent and Moll Davis are others handicapping for the first time and worth a second glance.
