Low-grade three-year-old handicaps are never the easiest to work out but a few of these probably have a little bit of improvement even if it is minimal. Topmeup has proved to be very consistent but the trip may well be a problem and others could be better placed to take advantage here. Joshlee would be one who fits into that category along with How’s Lucy who ran well against her elders last time out. Richard Hannon runs two here and it could well be that his VARUN’S BRIDE can back up her run last time out at Wolverhampton and get off the mark. Epsom Secret looks a quirky sort but may also play a part along with Ronni Layne who is not totally written off dropping down the handicap.
