DIFFIDENT BEATS hasn't looked like winning yet but has little to beat in this on his handicap debut. Mick Channon's charge makes more appeal than Strictly Glitz, who only landed a lowly seller at Redcar in June while It's All A Game is 10lb higher than last month's win at Hamilton. Sukari Gold may finish closer but Midnight Muscida has come up short in sellers recently while Absconder has shown nothing in maiden company.
