Verdict
Mark Johnston won last year’s inaugural running of this and sends the unbeaten Khamaary. The latter won her handicap debut by seven lengths at Redcar but the handicapper has taken a dim view and raised her 16lb. She’s still preferred to stablemate Fiendish while Normandie Lady beat Lincoln Rocks at Nottingham earlier and should do better back at this level having been upped in class last time. Hidden Rebel finished a close-up fourth at Carlisle recently but maiden winner ACADIAN ANGEL remains unexposed having been beaten less than a length on her handicap debut and John Quinn’s filly gets the nod.
