The handicapper has taken no chances with Vegas Boy after he beat Hope And Glory by five lengths at Chelmsford and has upped him 13lb. By contrast, KHELEYF’S GIRL has slipped 6lb down the weights and an apprentice takes a further 3lb off her back today after finishing runner-up at Ffos Las. Zapateado finished closer at Bath recently while Poppy Jag is the least exposed and may do better now handicapping for the first time.
