Kimeko Glory won in fine style on her reappearance at Beverley and is well treated under a 6lb penalty, but RAULIN could also be ahead of his mark now up in trip on his handicap debut. He kept on well over 1m at Newcastle last November and can leave behind his reappearance run at Musselburgh. Divine Legacy also brings potential to a longer trip on his first handicap start.[Ben Hutton]

Below par on reappearance in Musselburgh maiden four weeks ago (1m, good; having been gelded) but he stayed on well for third in a Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last November and it will be no surprise if this 150,000gns yearling takes a big step forward now up in trip on his handicap debut.
Improved with each of his three 2yo runs for Ed Bethell, going close at Beverley (8.4f, good) in September when last seen; sold for 35,000gns in October and gelded since; makes handicap debut with new yard in fine form and he's bred to be suited by the step up in trip; could have a big say.
Cheekpieces were applied for the switch to handicaps and he showed improved form, winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; he shouldn't be written off but he was only sixth back at Southwell (1m, AW) last time and goes without headgear today.
Made it 0-5 when fifth of eight on recent handicap and seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good); he needs something extra but this 125,000gns yearling has a useful pedigree and could improve for that latest run.
Made debut in January; fair efforts over 1m on first two starts (faded) and beaten just a short head at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last time; his pedigree provides optimism regarding the suitability of this different trip on his handicap debut, but there's a concern that he'll pull hard.
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) last August; soundly beaten on both runs this year (7f/7.4f) and her claims aren't obvious, but her pedigree hints this step up in trip may prompt improvement.
He's not obviously well treated judged on what he showed in three novices races last October (1m-1m1f) on soft/heavy ground; however, this brother to two winners has been gelded since and could be capable of better; one to watch in the betting on handicap/seasonal debut.
Improved upon her four 2yo runs when upped in trip and easily winning a handicap at 18-1 at Beverley (1m2f, good) last Thursday on her handicap and turf debut; she needs to back up that performance but could be tough to beat under a 6lb penalty if reproducing the form.
