This is little better than the seller that opened the card but Fraser Canyon should go well with Zac Baker’s claim in his favour. The lack of a recent run is a concern for The Pierre Lark and Armedandbeautiful but Ping stayed on well to score over a shorter trip at Kelso and will be thereabouts if the blinkers work a second time. FEELTHERHYTHM makes her handicap debut and sports headgear for the first time having shown some improvement when second in a Catterick novice event. That form isn’t particularly strong but she’s had just the three starts so has a bit of scope.
