BAYAN KASIRGA (NAP) can effectively race off a lower mark than when winning over course and distance on Boxing day if Natalie Hambling's allowance is taken into account. She can go in again ahead of Tower Power, twice a winner over 1m2f but unproven over today's trip. Horseguardsparade won a maiden at Southwell last month and was not beaten far at this venue on his handicap bow while Irish raider Lady Fandango steps up in distance for her first start handicapping and The Kid drops down in class for his debut on the all-weather.
