An open-looking handicap, though those nearer the foot of the weights look to have something to find. Oxwich Bay is still a maiden but has been knocking on the door and remains unexposed. Zen Master won a Market Rasen maiden last month on only his second run over timber but Inn The Bull couldn't cope with a hike in the weights at Huntingdon and One For Billy was soon left behind off this mark at Fakenham. MEGABUCKS defied market expectations with a fine run here last month. That form has been boosted and Henry Oliver's successful pointer can make a winning start in handicaps.
