Goldrapper had been threatening to open his account over timber before unseating at Huntingdon in May but has his first start since then having switched yards. FIRST ASSEMBLY has improved for going handicapping with good efforts at both Fontwell and Hereford last time. He may be the one to side with in this as City Never Sleeps was still well beaten when runner-up at Catterick recently and Lingfield winner Shimba Hills ran poorly at Newcastle when last in action. Destinys Choice may prove best of the rest on only her second start handicapping.
