Road To Dubai won in this grade at Goodwood last month and has been raised 5lb for his trouble. Newcastle maiden winner, Blushing Red, never figured on his handicap debut in better company than this but a chance is taken MISTRESS QUICKLY fares better. She went close at Beverley last time and breeding suggests Ralph Beckett’s filly will improve for this longer trip now handicapping. Akamanto is another making his handicap debut is preferred to stablemate Castellated while the likes of Je Suis Charlie and Chocolate Box are expected to finish closer today.
