SHARADIYN completed a double here in 2011 and has had little racing subsequently. He attempted to make all on a return visit three weeks ago and very nearly defied a 14-month absence, only succumbing on the run-in, so is taken to go one better. Ashcott Boy has won two novice handicaps in a canter so it's hardly surprising that he's been raised 14lb though this doesn't look much tougher. Spin Cast ran his best race for a while at Bangor in August while Tinseltown has managed to win eight times on the Flat and over hurdles in minor company which is a testimony to his trainer's skill at placing him. Langham Lily makes her handicap debut after the compulsory three runs and may have some improvement in her.
