BAGGING TURF won on her first outing of last season and she can repeat that in this conditional jockeys handicap chase. The selection ran well off a 1lb higher mark on her final start of last season and can get the better of top weight Ramonex who is making his handicap debut today. Born To Size was a winner last time out and can claim third on his debut for this yard.
