SEQUILLO is taken to land this handicap at the main expense of Lady Drac and Play It Sam. The selection has won both of his starts at this track, including most recently when he beat Foxtrot Charlie over 1m2f. However, he barely sees out that trip and the return to today's distance is a big plus for him. Play It Sam is a lightly-raced colt and he ran a respectable race on his handicap debut here last time. There may be more to come but he will need to improve if he is to trouble the judge today. Lady Drac is making her handicap debut after shaping with promise in maiden company and she could be of interest. Tom Dascombe has his string in good form so Best In Class could represent some each-way value. However, Sequillo sets a decent standard here and should prove tough to beat.
