LIZZIE LOCH won over course and distance a year ago off today’s mark and was only beaten a neck on her reappearance at Musselburgh when Ezanak was a close-up third. She has strong claims in this if that run has blown away the cobwebs. Strict looks a danger on last week’s second at Thirsk, when Mamdood was fourth, but course specialist Question Of Faith is out of sorts. Hugoigo may need this but Bollin Neil is interesting making his handicap debut as he is bred to be a stayer.
