HIGGYS RAGAZZO was a decent flat performer and made an acceptable if unspectacular winning debut over timber when scoring here in February. Runner-up Kayaan, who reopposes again, has done little for the form since but there should be plenty of improvement in the Henderson charge and he can preserve his unbeaten record. King Fingal looks a potent threat, having followed up a possibly fortunate win at Musselburgh with a respectable effort in better grade at Doncaster. Put a line through his latest effort in soft ground. Strathcal was well supported when fifth on his recent hurdling debut and this decent flat handicapper should be all the better for the experience.
