HANDSOME CHAP showed signs of inexperience over track and trip on last month’s debut but finished strongly to take second and a bold bid is expected with his yard among the winners recently. Wadacre Icarus and Ravenswell showed a modicum of improvement at Kempton last time but the Theworldsnotenough was a bit disappointing back here. Royal Velvet may finish closer today while Liege and Super Hit are newcomers to note.
