Most of these are thoroughly exposed handicappers with the exception of the lightly-raced filly MORESWEETS 'N LACE. She's come up against a couple of progressive types on her last two starts at Kempton and will find life easier in this company. Today's drop back in trip should suit Thundering Home, but the veteran Folio hasn't shown any noticeable improvement despite slipping down the handicap. Laconicos has a chance dropped in grade but no wins in 24 starts on the Flat doesn't boost confidence and Holyfield Warrior's recent placed efforts have been in a lower grade.
