Red Mischief made all to score at Leicester last month and will need to improve again off a 7lb higher mark, while Maccabees drops back in trip for his handicap bow after a couple of placed efforts in maidens. Tina's Spirit never threatened on her handicap debut at Goodwood, but this is less competitive and stablemate KARUGA is also dropped in class. The latter has shaped well in a couple of nurseries and gets another chance with Richard Hughes taking over the reins. Middleton Flyer was well beaten at Chester on Saturday, but Royal Blush and Bewilder are not easily dismissed.
