Brockey Rise won a lower grade sprint over track and trip last time and will find this more difficult but Wazin was beaten less than a length at Newcastle on her handicap debut and is preferred to Gabrial The Devil, who should be sharper for last month’s reappearance. MADAME RITZ landed a novices’ race over course and distance on her latest outing and she gets the vote to show further progress now handicapping. Flora Tristan found one too good in a maiden race over 7f here recently but drops down to 6f for the first time.
