Iftitah is upped 11lb having completed a double with a recent win at Newcastle and Texas Katie has been raised 5lb for finishing second yet again when beaten less than a length at Newmarket. Tonahutu and Miss Icon won maiden races before modest efforts in handicaps, though the latter drops down in class and it remains to be seen how Pennington fares now handicapping for the first time. MISS SHERIDAN (NAP) coped pretty well at Doncaster on her handicap debut in Class 3 company. She’ll find this much easier so Mick Easterby’s filly gets the nod.
