Verdict
Cruising was beaten in handicaps before opening his account in novice company at Redcar while Dana Forever attempts 7f for the first time having finished runner-up over 6f at Newmarket. Several make their handicap debuts including the returning Tacitly though Risk Taker, Made For All and TOP CLASS ANGEL all have an outing under their belts. The latter placed over today’s trip at Headquarters on last month’s comeback and the Hannon filly may prove the one to side with on that form.
