PENTIMENTO placed over track and trip on his handicap debut and an apprentice takes 7lb off his back today. That should give him the edge over another unexposed type in Bridgewater Bay, who won a novices race over course and distance last month and goes handicapping for the first time. Delicate Kiss has a shout on a recent second at Lingfield when Candelisa finished third and Michele Strogoff could also go well back at this level. Lethal Missile finished in front of One Cool Daddy when a close-up fourth here earlier and Family Fortunes won off a higher mark at the track at this time last year.
