Redemptive went close over a mile at Windsor last time but this is tougher and SAIKUNG is less exposed. Placed over today’s trip at Chepstow on her handicap debut a fortnight ago, Charlie Hills’ filly should go close with any further improvement. Rosamour finished runner-up at Salisbury on last year’s handicap bow but hasn’t raced since October while Mohogany and Winter Gleam ended last year with decent efforts but neither figured on their respective reappearances. City Master, Chop Chop and Orliko may all improve now handicapping for the first time though need to if they’re to get involved.
