Field Game returned a five-length winner at Kempton and makes his handicap debut. But he'd earlier been beaten by Equally Fast over course and distance and the latter also goes handicapping for the first time, as does EFFUSIVE (NAP). The latter has been competing in Group 3 contests since winning on her debut and finished ahead of Expensive Date in the Albany at Ascot back in June. Goodwood maiden winner Flashy Diva failed to get involved on her first start handicapping while recent Lingfield winner Ivors Rebel steps up in class.
