Shamlaan made a winning debut in handicaps when scoring at Musselburgh. He’s 7lb higher today and third-placed TINKERSTAR is taken to reverse running on much better terms. Most of the remainder make their handicap debuts and Ayling finished in front of Mereside Angel when runner-up at Beverley earlier while Jen's Gift has recorded her best effort so far on the all-weather though an apprentice’s allowance helps her cause. Both Qwicken and Gnat Alley disappointed at Pontefract last time having finished much closer before that.
