Mister X just prevailed over track and trip last time while Engelbert has been raised 5lb for winning at Newcastle. Risotto was no match for the winner when second at Chelmsford but makes her handicap debut along with A TASTE OF HONEY. The latter hasn’t raced since landing a novices race over course and distance in September but both placed horses have won subsequently so she gets the vote on that form. Buy The Dip also goes handicapping for the first and steps back up in trip.
