April's Nottingham winner Sugar Beet has been well beaten since, but Scarlet Rocks should be scoring off her current mark soon. Midnight Rider finally makes his handicap debut and has place claims, while Porthgwidden Beach went close at Leicester last time and should be thereabouts at the finish. However, FARLOW opened his account at Beverley three weeks ago and, as the least exposed in this field, looks capable of following up on his handicap debut.
