Haveoneyerself is only 2lb higher for winning a handicap at Brighton but Zain Smarts was well beaten at Bath recently along with Big Time Maybe having won at the same track before that. Undercover Brother has been thereabouts of late but Lady Dancealot, Tiepolo, Expelled and CITY GENT are less exposed and all make their handicap debuts. Of those, the latter makes most appeal as he raced prominently throughout when narrowly beaten over 6f at Lingfield last month and the drop back in distance should suit.
