Yur Next will carry a welter burden having picked up a penalty at Taunton on Friday, where he was all out. The four-year-old Marbeth isn’t highly tried on her handicap debut and Nicki's Nipper is the only one of these to have won at the track. Cool Baranca would have a chance on her best form while Baby Ticker is unexposed. CHANCE TAKEN has been knocking on the door since eased a little in the weights and she could finally get her head in front today with the cheekpieces on for the first time. Gold Bonne Raine also wears the aids for the first time and may be best of the rest.
