Verdict
Cape Joy makes her handicap debut but has shown little so far and Musically ran her best race on heavy going. It was soft ground when PLAY STREET made all for an impressive victory at Newbury and though raised 8lb Harry Bentley's claim will help and she can complete a double on this quicker going. Idyllic Star ran well enough from this mark at Windsor to be given a chance but it's Kittens who looks the main threat as she made a promising handicap debut at Folkestone and with just 2lb extra to contend with should improve enough to get into the mix.
