House Of Frills is on form and could go well on her Nursery handicap debut but with the assessor having to guess at her mark a bit we instead give VILINIUS our vote with Tom Folan also considered. It can be argued the selection has been a little disappointing since joining the handicap ranks despite placing in all three starts in this sphere. She takes a step down in class from her latest near miss and based on her runs this season she should be good enough to win off this mark. House Of Frills won a seller on debut before running well in defeat in a nursery last time. She's been allotted a mark of 74 for her handicap bow, which might be correct, but there's no way to be certain. Tom Folan is another in this field taking a step down in class and looks more competitive here with a three pound reduction in her mark from a solid run at York a week ago. Ignatieff is another to add to calculations but again you take a chance he's weighted correctly so with a few questions surrounding some of the leading players Vilinius should finally score as a handicapper.
