Rikona won a maiden handicap at Ffos Las recently and Midgetonamission landed a selling handicap on the all-weather. Miss Bluebelle had the measure of Lethal Touch when scoring at Chelmsford but is upped in class while Golden Chain drops down in trip for her handicap debut. MELERI also raced over 1m4f last time but is better judged on an earlier second in a tougher contest over course and distance - Jim Boyle’s filly gets another chance on that form.
