This is tougher than the Plumpton handicap GERICO VILLE landed last month but he is clearly progressing and could still be on a handy mark having gone up just 2 lb. Next on the list is Ioupy Collonges, who brings potential to the table now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Ballydisco has to be feared judged on his improved effort at Ffos Las where he shared the spoils with a prolific and progressive rival, while Hauraki Gulf, another making his handicap bow, also merits respect.
