IFTITAH (NAP) stepped up to this trip for the first time at Newcastle and easily completed a double initiated at Chelmsford. He comes here with a 6lb penalty but that's unlikely to prevent a big effort and a hat-trick beckons. Texas Katie has already had 11 starts and was beaten in a seller last time but Performing has travelled a long way for this and makes his nursery debut off what could prove a lowly mark. Life On Mars is another handicap debutant who probably has more to give while Shawami's last two runs have been in testing ground which hasn't suited her.
