Rapid Water, Time Medicean and DEVIL YOU KNOW are the three to note with the vote going to the last named. The selection ran well on his debut at Nottingham and improved to win on his second outing at the same venue. He runs off a mark of 79 on his handicap debut and that could make him potentially well treated and with further improvement still to come he has every chance of following up. The same can be said about Rapid Water who improved from his debut to land a maiden at Salisbury last time out. His stable are in fantastic form at present so any market moves should be noted. Time Medicean landed a maiden race at Pontefract last month having had two warm up runs. He runs off a mark of 79 on his handicap debut an should be closely monitored in the betting market, however, Devil You Know looks a horse with great potential and is taken to land this handicap.
