Another tricky handicap with little recent form of note. Despite only showing a glimmer of ability in her four starts, LORETTA, is far more unexposed than most of these and with cheekpieces added on her handicap debut, she is capable of better. Gunmaker is well handicapped on his early-2019 form and shaped better at Chelmsford last time whilst Avenue Of Stars can make the frame with visor back on. Keep an eye on the betting for Grayboy on his handicap debut also.
