Bendy Spirit faced a tough task in a valuable sales race at the Curragh last time and goes handicapping for the first time. Idoapologise has been raised 7lb for winning over 6f at Thirsk while Breck's Selection drops down in trip after placing at Bath. Guipure and Bryn Du may do better now handicapping though will need to but another handicap debutante in GRACE NOTE found only one too good at Brighton last time so Archie Watson’s filly gets the speculative vote. Red Maharani may prove best of the rest.
