Pepys failed to cope with a 7lb rise at Thirsk having won at Ayr before that. It remains to be seen if ABUSHAMAH fares any better raised 4lb for scoring at Redcar but Ruth Carr’s charge has won off higher marks in the past and this isn’t the strongest of handicaps. Fieldsman slips further down the weights and could figure dropping back down to this level but it’s harder to recommend any of the remainder with Cryptonite perhaps the best of them.
