There’s nothing in the way of winning form but a couple have already gone close in handicaps including Windy Guest. The latter was narrowly beaten at Kempton by the progressive Chitra, who went on to score again at Redcar with KERMOUSTER in close attendance. The latter comes out just ahead of Windy Guest on collateral form and gets the vote in this opener. Sybil Grand is more exposed, though was placed at Ffos Las recently, but both Lippy Lady and Dotty Grand finished thereabouts over the minimum trip last time without threatening.
