Most of these can be given a chance but PRODUCTION has raced over 7f since making a winning debut over today’s trip at Ascot and makes most appeal of Richard Hannon’s five runners. Stablemates K Club and Naughty Rascal are not out of this either with the former going close at Chester last time and the latter winning a conditions race at Salisbury recently. Luxor has won on the all-weather and makes his handicap debut along with Boa Nova while More Than Likely has won three times in novice company including her latest start at Chelmsford. Burj and Nayslayer may do better back over today’s shorter trip but Kempton winner Tinto is upped in class.
