Three recent winners make their handicap debuts. VOLUME was the most visually impressive when landing the odds at Newcastle in good style and she's preferred to the Godolphin colt Gold Trail. The latter scored over a mile at Haydock last month, as did Top of The Glas, and both should figure again. The Hannon duo, Malachim Mist and Fair Ranger, have gone off the boil of late but Bureau and If have claims if forgiven below-par efforts on their latest outings.
