None of these inspire much confidence including Dose, who finally got off the mark at Southwell last time and is now 5lb higher. Tenerezza went close here on Monday but drops back in trip today so a chance is taken on the returning LITTLE KIPLING. The latter hasn’t raced since June but has been thereabouts in a couple of tougher handicaps than this, including a third at Newmarket, so she gets a tentative vote. Andanotherone goes handicapping for the first time today and may finish closer.
