Best Laid Plans comes out best of those with a handicap mark but missed out again when odds-on at Wolverhampton last time and is taken on with RIGHT REBEL in this. The latter found only the subsequent handicap winner Tiercel too good when runner-up at Kempton last month and Alan Bailey’s filly should go close with any further progress. The remainder look up against it unless the newcomer Einstein, a cheap purchase for a half-brother to a Listed winner, proves above average.
