PLAYA BLANCA (NAP) escapes a penalty for his victory in a conditionals’ race at Warwick when well supported. Ben Jones keeps the partnership intact and a quick double looks to be on the cards. Mamdood found only one too good making his handicap debut at Musselburgh while Torrid has placed twice here this season and wouldn’t be winning out of turn. Celestial Magic was returning from a lengthy absence when third at Huntingdon and should strip fitter here.
