Dancing Leopard was placed over 6f here last time but will need a big improvement on an earlier attempt at today’s trip to figure and FANSURPER is preferred. The latter wasn’t beaten that far when sixth over 7f at Wolverhampton and may well improve now handicapping for the first time. Rulers Kingdom, Castlehill Retreat and Penmellyn are others making their handicap debuts with the former preferred but the likes of Bendy Spirit and Schumli are more exposed and look no nearer winning. River of Kings went close over track and trip earlier and may prove best of the rest.
