INFORAPENNY is thriving and had something to spare when landing a 12-runner handicap at Bellewstown last time, so he's a solid choice to go in again for all there are plenty of others with reasonable claims. Handicap debutants Dicebox and Rotten Row both have potentially lenient opening marks based on bumper form, so they're worth monitoring in the betting.
