Several make their handicap debuts including William Haggas' RESUMPTION, who found one too good when favourite at Wolverhampton but this extra distance will suit and an apprentice takes 5lb off his back. Sourire Secret has won a seller and placed in novice company last time while Cigoli has undergone wind surgery after making a moderate seasonal debut behind the selection. Basic Beauty failed to stay 1m6f last time but can figure in this while the veteran Berrahri has won twice at Epsom this year and is preferred to Wholelotafun.
