Becker and Nampara went well on their handicap debuts and are capable of winning races from their current marks. The trip may be on the sharp side for Pranceaboutthetoon and Sir Hector had the run of a muddling race in weaker company last time. WIFF WAFF is on a hat-trick following two comfortable successes at Newcastle. He remains on the right side of the handicapper and, if handling the new surface, is the one they all have to beat.
