ROYAL RESERVE (NAP) won a Class 4 handicap over the track and trip in January and is 15lb lower plus his rider's 10lb claim so will take some beating. Baraboy is a prolific winner at this sort of level and is just 2lb higher than when scoring at Hexham last month but Brickadank is 0-18 and has been racing over further. Planned Paradise hasn't shown much in maidens but makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark though Edmond Dantes may be more of a threat after a fair handicap debut at Uttoxeter.
