The lightly-raced COMPUTABLE ended his first campaign with a victory at Musselburgh and has been well supported on several occasions so better should be expected on his handicap debut and he gets the nod. Kevin Ryan runs Hemingway, who should be fighting fit after three recent runs, and Franca Florio, who completed a double last summer before she was just touched off in a strong Chester nursery. Plato O Plomo made a successful debut at Haydock in May and only ran twice subsequently before reappearing with a very good run at Nottingham so he should go well. Megan Lily has a touch of quality and ended up running in Listed company in France. Her young rider's claim is a plus and she can get involved while Scuzeme, a maiden winner at Newcastle, was staying on at the finish on his handicap debut at Nottingham. Valentino Boy showed potential in maidens and makes his handicap debut.
