THISTLE ASK fared a whole lot better than on his stable debut when runner-up in a C&D maiden in December and, with the performance backed up by a healthy timefigure, he gets the nod to go one better on his handicap debut. Fia Fuinidh showed much-improved form to make a successful start in handicaps over C&D last month and is highly respected in his follow-up bid despite having a 10 lb higher mark to contend with. One Mill Harbour is another to take seriously.
