A couple of these posted better efforts on their handicap debuts though Acquirer’s second at Bath came over 1m6f. CROSS MY MIND is preferred as Ralph Beckett’s filly finished in front of a subsequent winner when fourth to Pippin over course and distance last time and the latter has also gone in again. Stablemate Font Vert won over a shorter trip on the all-weather back in January and can race off a lower mark today while Golden Image finished ahead of Atomic Jack when fifth over 1m2f here last time and should go well again.
