Fair Passion, Toms Laughter and Rievaulx World will fancy gaining revenge on Drawnfromthepast given that one's penalty although things are rarely that straightforwards. Jamie Osborne's charge doesn't always run solid back-to-back races though and preference is for ZIGGY LEE. He has made rapid strides since winning a course and distance handicap from a mark of just 63 in April of last year and he has the scope to progress further after just twelve career starts. This trip may prove to be on the sharp side for Baby Strange although there should be plenty of pace on here which will help whilst Spring Green is well enough handicapped to feature on her return as long as Steve Drowne can get her settled in a decent racing position from her high draw.
