This is wide-open with several making their handicap debuts. Baileysgutfeeling is a maiden winner at Brighton while Octophobia is a novice winner at Catterick who struggled in Listed company last time. Lightening Gesture, Appearing and INVASIVE are others with a shout handicapping for the first time with a speculative vote going the way of the William Haggas-trained filly after an improved effort at Newcastle. Smiling Sunflower went close at Kempton on her handicap bow but Kennet disappointed when sent off favourite here.
