Handicap debutant Minella Choice could be interesting and Blue Bikini beat a subsequent winner at Taunton two runs ago only to disappoint at Plumpton later. Dellboy Trotter would have a chance at the weights but hasn’t run since October. A winner at Fakenham in the autumn, Secret Trix gets cheekpieces having placed in both starts since but HAVING A BARNEY (NAP) looks the one to beat having justified favouritism at Ayr last month.
