Amazing Grazing is weighted to come out best though the drop back in distance from 1m2f is not certain to suit. Starboard Watch was well beaten on her handicap debut but JOYS DELIGHT has been in the mix in handicaps on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton recently and Mark Loughnane’s filly may prove good enough back at this level. Neither Compass Rose nor Intoxikating have shown any worthwhile form so far.
