Sadeek's Song and Dick Doughtywylie have plenty of scope and will be of interest on their handicap debuts. The former makes more appeal than the other Godolphin representatives Roayh and Janood, while the latter made all to win at Chester a fortnight ago. However, ELECTRA STAR has the form in the book having already won a couple of handicaps and was far from disgraced in Listed company at Newmarket last time. Willie Haggas' filly can continue to progress back in this grade. Weapon Of Choice is another with a couple of wins under his belt and looks more worthy of trust than the inconsistent Oceanway.
