Verdict
Roaring Rory won a claimer at Wolverhampton last month and Madame Barker was successful in a seller at the same track last week. Both will find this tougher but Irish Cailin has been competing in better handicaps than this and should figure. Zeeda is usually thereabouts but has had plenty of chances while Laughton and ITSINTHESTARS make their handicap debuts. The latter finished behind a subsequent winner when fourth at Beverley last month and James Given's filly is taken to open her account on that form.
