Love Is Golden and TIGHTENOURBELTS make their handicap debuts having both landed the odds with the minimum of fuss last time. The former could be anything but steps up in trip and Emma Lavelle’s charge is preferred on his impressive success over a longer distance at Ludlow. Bold Reaction is another handicapping for the first time while Churchills Boy, Kaleb and El Muchacho are all dropping down in class with the latter helped by a conditional’s allowance. Last Of A Legend and Bashers Reflection are recent winners facing much tougher opposition today.
