Another very tricky handicap to end proceedings as a few arrive in good form. Algar Lad has won at Leicester and Musselburgh this summer and Sam James takes off a valuable 3lb. Extrasolar has won at Salisbury and Bath recently but is now on a career-high mark, as is Newmarket scorer Holly Shiftwell. Newbury and Sandown winner PERFECT MUSE will have to defy a 6lb higher mark and a rise in class to complete the hat-trick but she's tough and progressive and may well be up to the task, though there are a few more exposed sprinters in this who have fallen to very attractive marks. They include Zero Money and Secret Witness with the latter showing signs of a revival when beaten just over two lengths in a better race at York last month.
