MESSAGE looks set to open his account having been beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Doncaster on his handicap debut. Mark Johnston’s colt can race off the same mark today and this doesn’t look a strong race. Tamachan has shown little progress and goes handicapping for the first time along with Goshen but Garrison Commander posted a better effort at Leicester recently albeit over a shorter distance than this. Fenjal has won over a mile on the all-weather and gets a change of headgear with the remainder even harder to recommend
