Devil's Cub went close at Kempton on his reappearance while Omany Amber won again over a longer trip here. Bonnie Lad’s earlier win came over today’s trip but Cathayensis steps up in distance after winning over 7f. My Boy Frankie and Broadhaven go handicapping for the first time and are not out of this but ZUMAATY was narrowly beaten at Brighton on his handicap debut and Archie Watson’s charge gets a speculative vote in something of a lottery.
