A difficult punting puzzle made all the more difficult by some less than straightforward customers and seven that are making their handicap debuts. The market is sure to pick up on Kahaleesi given her stable switch but on form she really wouldn’t have much chance making her first start in handicaps. Of the others making their handicap debuts Not At All and Hit And Run are probably the most interesting with A L’Asseau another who is worth noting in the market. Suffice returns after a break and would be in the equation if he was fit enough having been off for nearly a year. Overall though and despite the penalty ROB ROBIN has shaped as though she he has more to come and doesn’t have the quirks that some of the others have displayed.
