Ridge Ranger is penalised for winning a Listed sprint at Nottingham last month but has gone close again since. Fine Blend also has a 4lb penalty for a Listed success at Chester last year. The latter was behind fifth-placed MARSHA in a Group 3 at the Curragh a fortnight ago and Sir Mark Prescott’s filly can take advantage of the weight concessions to land this. Shadow Hunter and the Irish raider Shrill will need to improve on these terms while the remainder have even more to find with the principals with Olivia Fallow perhaps best of them.
