Division One of this one mile four furlong handicap is full of out of form animals and given that it might be worth taking a chance on the experienced LITTLE RICHARD, who is finally back to a winning mark, while Torina is an interesting Irish raider and Dazzling Begum looks value for a place. With 90 races under the saddle the selection seems to have taken best to this track winning 10 times and this will be the first time that Mark Wellings' charge is able to race under the burden he last carried to victory. Torina has shown some fair form in Ireland but isn't the easiest to assess now crossing the water although any market support would be interesting. Dazzling Begum has to be considered for place prizes racing off just a pound higher than when last scoring with win claims tempered by his lack of success at this trip. Shanafarhan made a pleasing reappearance after an absence last time but might be high in the weights so in a tight little affair Little Richard might be able to get back on top.
