Ringo Starlight counted Berry Quick among his victims when scoring easily at Chelmsford but is 12lb higher today having been well beaten at Redcar subsequently. EXCELING is preferred as she was beaten less than a length at Chelmsford on last week’s handicap debut and can open her account with any further progress. Surrey Territories can also improve further and makes more appeal than Above It All while Hayat and Tilsworth Ony Ta may do better now handicapping for the first time.
