Verdict
Bonny Houxty hasn’t recaptured last year’s form since returning from a break but she doesn’t have many miles on the clock. Flat winner Kitty's Cove may do better in a first-time visor but Shanbally Rose is proving hard to catch right while Dancing Doug still looks too high in the weights. WORLD TRIP won an amateur riders’ handicap here three weeks ago under Luke Scott with the proverbial ton in hand and, given his progress, should shrug off an 11lb rise in the ratings.
