Sarah's Verse won a lower grade sprint here recently and Bezzas Lad beat Red Alert over track and trip before finishing behind runner-up CANDESCENCE. The latter was caught close home on that first start since August and Mark Walford’s filly can go one better. Nationwide returned a 50/1 winner in novice company at Kempton on his debut for a new yard and makes his handicap debut while Rebel Redemption looks best of the rest.
