Countessa has placed over 1m2f and makes her handicap debut but Ladywood disappointed last time having finished second over track and trip before that. MAKETH BELIEVETH started a big price for his handicap bow but finished a respectable third on the Turf at Lingfield and Harry Dunlop’s charge has plenty of scope for further progress. Geremia and Punta Arenas are others open to improvement with the latter stepping up in trip.
