ONLY FOR ME remains a maiden but he's gone with plenty of zest on each of his last 2 starts in maidens and, ridden with a little more restraint returned to handicaps, he could well be up to playing a lead role from this career-low mark. The Impex Kid arrives on the back of success here and is a big threat, with Jaafel and Kitty McFee others in the mix.
