Verdict
None of those with experience in handicaps have looked like winning one so far and that includes the maiden winners Mecca's Missus, Satin Chic and In Ken's Memory. So the vote goes to the latter's stablemate PENNOCK in the hope that he fares better now handicapping for the first time after a fourth at Haydock. In My Place and Scruffy Mcguffy are similar types to the selection and both worth a second glance in the betting.
