Roger Varian's record at getting them to win first time up in handicaps is so good that RAAQYAH is the selection despite a slight worry about the trip. Over the last year he has a 26% strike rate first time in handicaps and that cannot be ignored. Vision Clear is knocking on the door and should be on the premises, and Rapier looks another likely improver too.
