Fethiye Boy won a maiden at Chelmsford last time but had been beaten in handicaps before that. Flying Hope, Not Now Nadia and Royal Celebration were all placed in handicaps recently and the latter finished ahead of Zandradee but a few of these are new to handicapping and make more appeal. Backinanger makes his all-weather debut on his reappearance but SCHOOL RUN finished ahead of Highly Focussed here on her earlier debut and she gets the nod to show further progress on the back of a recent second at Newcastle.
