Advance scored at Redcar last time but is upped 6lb while ROYAL DUCHESS has been raised 5lb for landing a course double over 7f here. The latter is worth another try over today's trip, however, in her current form. Shearian was only beaten a head at Newcastle in May and Silver Duke went close over 1m2f here back in April. Argaki is now back on the same mark as when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier and Dark Crystal won over track and trip off a similar mark over course and distance last season.
