Rivas Rhapsody made a winning debut at Ffos Las in heavy ground. She's clearly open to improvement after beating Welsh Dancer by over three lengths, but the same rival was later beaten even further by EXCELLENT AIM in a maiden at Wolverhampton. The latter has benefited from a wind operation during the summer and there should be more to come from George Margarson's charge back in handicap company. Sherjawy and Fenella Fudge are getting closer as they slip down the weights and Belinsky can figure back on the Polytrack after a below par effort at Southwell.
