COMEDIAN LEADER can continue winning ways, despite a penalty, as Jonny Peate could afford to ease his mount down and still score easily at Southwell. Maiden winner Abbey's Dream went close at Lingfield on her handicap debut but Evolicatt looks unlikely to reverse running with the selection. Shot Of Love drops down a grade and Dazy Mazy goes handicapping for the first time.
