A poor handicap which is no better than the one Handsome Bob won at Thirsk last week. He does, however, have a penalty and KITTY’S COVE wasn’t beaten far in fourth, despite being hampered. Tim Easterby’s lightly-raced filly should enjoy this stiffer track and can come out on top this time. Irish raiders Flying Focus, Last Garrison and Liars Corner all carry a threat. The former has been getting closer around here and the latter was doing his best work at the finish over 1m2f at Navan last time.
