As usual with 3yo handicaps we are faced with a rather mixed bag of performers with quite a few that are expected to do better in this sphere. Two fillies BEE ABLE and Sparkling Or Still take the eye here with the edge just given to the former who may well improve for the first-time visor having still looked a little inexperienced last time. The latter of that duo is of equal interest now that she goes up in trip for her first taste of handicapping. Copperlight can’t be left out of the equation either having already opened his handicap account while more can be expected from Utopian Lad and Ampney Red.
