Verdict
Kk Lexion has to be of interest in his first handicap as he's shown some ability. Golden Investment has a similar profile but Tickanrun is fully exposed and isn't getting much help from the handicapper. Toarmandowithlove has been placed in five of her 21 career starts but she's never really looked like winning so far. Tim Vaughan is a rare visitor here but two of his three runners in the last five years have been successful and BASSARABAD could be another for the South Wales trainer on the evidence of recent seconds at Lingfield and Newbury.
