Not much separates those in the top half of the weights but BE LIKE ME is helped by an apprentices’ allowance on her handicap debut and Marco Botti’s filly may come out best. Novice winner Aurag is also partnered by an apprentice today having already failed to threaten in a couple of handicaps but Li Kui was placed at Sandown earlier on his handicap bow. Beleaguerment, Swift Justice and Dandy Lad are others to note now handicapping and are preferred to the more exposed Murqaab.
