Fear Factor is tried in a tongue-tie ahead of his handicap debut and support for John Fahy's mount would have to be taken seriously but AL RAYANAH rates a more solid betting proposition and gets our vote under William Carson. All three of the mare's wins have come over this trip and the last of them was off this mark here at Yarmouth. She showed two starts back that softening conditions pose no threat and looks poised to strike once more, possibly at the expense of Nolecce although his run at Musselburgh on Monday will need watching with interest. Final Drive ended last season on a high but hasn't yet placed on the turf and is opposed until returning to an artificial surface while Miss Kitty Grey may just struggle to last home under the likely conditions.
