In depth
Verdict
A case can be made for most of these but LUMI won a novice race over course and distance in February and was giving weight to a winner rated 85 back here last time - she may prove good enough now handicapping. Image won over 7f at Chelmsford recently but is 7lb higher today and Elixsoft and Trump Alexander are preferred on the back of recent placed efforts over a mile. Elysee Star, Puchita and Ideal Candy were all placed over 7f on their latest starts and Broken Wings is another handicap debutante to note.
