Raydoun opened his account when dropped back to today’s trip at Newcastle while Crush And Run won a maiden race over 5f at Lingfield and makes his handicap debut along with TRUE ICON. The latter won at the same track when landing the odds in novice company with the minimum of fuss and there looks more to come from the Haggas filly. Alaskan Jewel has an apprentice’s allowance helping her cause today and is preferred to Bonita B and Kingofhell.
