Verdict
Pickapocket appeared to handle the Fibresand last time but remains an unknown on this surface and has been raised a couple of pounds in the weights. Hijran is the type to do better now going handicapping while blinkers could bring about some improvement in Nutbourne Lad, who was placed last year at Salisbury. Be Bop Tango is dropped in class while Boutan won on heavy going at Brighton in his first season so warrants respect. MOTDAW wasn't beaten far on soft ground at Brighton in October and is 2lb lower. Her stable is in cracking form so she might be worth an interest in an ordinary handicap.
