Race preview
After showing potential in maidens and novice company, MATCH PLAY made the best possible start to his handicap career when accounting for three rivals over 5f here. The second and fourth have performed quite well since and having made all, Kevin Ryan's youngster certainly wasn't stopping so should get the extra furlong. Jm Jungle had Shandy Star behind when fourth at York, while Double O struggled in the Albany but showed nurseries are more her thing when runner-up at Chester.
