This is a very modest beginning to an otherwise excellent card. FRANKINCENSE did at least win his last start, at Exeter in November, and was placed previously at Stratford so is probably the one to beat off a 6lb higher mark. Detatched and Will Sting have also managed to win races in the current season with Aidan Coleman taking over the reins on the latter, who makes his handicap debut.
