JAMACHO came here for a Class 5 handicap a fortnight ago and recorded a very easy victory for which he's been raised 10lb. His rider's claim reduces the burden and he should go in again. Right Destination was well supported at Wincanton in November and was in touch when falling at the last so connections will be looking for compensation. Excellent Team landed a Newton Abbot handicap a year ago though didn't make the expected progress in two subsequent starts but Two Blondes ran his best race to date over timber at Fakenham in October and is fit from the Flat.
