In depth
Verdict
Tai Hang Dragon has won a couple of Polytrack handicaps over 7f where she's got up close home so she might find a couple of these too speedy and has a 5lb rise to contend with. KACHESS was very highly tried after making a successful debut at Goodwood in June but found her level on her reappearance at Redcar where she finished strongly over the minimum. She'll be better for that and can concede weight all round. Global Alexander hasn't been beaten far in any of her three maiden runs and makes her handicap debut while Santafiora made a successful debut at Bath last summer so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem. In The Spotlight found 7f too far at Chelmsford after her victory over this trip at Kempton.
