There probably isn’t a great deal between the likely market leaders in this, though recent course and distance winner Mackie Dee is the senior runner and carries top weight. Gold Leader came good over track and trip last week but is penalised and was probably flattered by her margin of victory. HANA COLLONGES (NAP) was easy to back making her handicap debut at Ffos Las but she clearly appreciated the step up in distance and it’s hard to imagine that there won’t be more to come after just five career starts.
