JAZZ CAT is the least exposed of these and can take this on his handicap debut with more to offer. Cascading Stars went close in soft ground at Ayr but has just the one win in 29 attempts so far while Swiss Cross was runner-up over 6f recently but his only win since 2014 came at Les Landes in Jersey. New Rich had been threatening before a below par effort at Leicester and Royal Rettie is usually thereabouts at this level though has yet to open her account. Arcanista was only narrowly beaten at Kempton last month and Sexton Blake is helped out by an apprentice’s 7lb allowance today.
