SOUND MIXER had to be switched for a clear run when sent off favourite at Kempton on her handicap debut and just failed to catch the winner. The Haggas filly is fancied to open her account on this occasion. Rebel Redemption has been raised 7lb for winning at Chelmsford but Redzone may improve past him today having finished a close-up fifth in a higher grade contest over track and trip. Constitutional has been thereabouts at Southwell recently but Abbaleka looks no nearer winning as of yet.
