House Deposit finished in front of Fighting Spirit when scoring in soft going over 6f at Thirsk but he’s been raised 6lb for that while Pesci disappointed when fancied at Beverley a fortnight and has a couple of lengths to find with the runner-up SMART ILLUSION (NAP). David O’Meara’s charge was making his handicap debut on that occasion and can go one better in this. My Ukulele was placed over track and trip on her handicap bow and is another to consider.
