Rapaport makes his handicap debut but we’re inclined to give another chance to MANINTHESHADOWS, who won at Doncaster in January and was leading when unseating his rider next time at Warwick. Ribeye finished behind Storm Force One here in January and is worse off at the weights. East Harlem was pulled up in that contest and looks held but Shot Boii, the youngest runner in this field, looks a threat to all on his victory at Ffos Las two runs ago.
