Jack Garrity steered Lil Sophella to her only victory over 7f at Catterick in September and she performed with credit in both subsequent starts at this track. However, she was beaten by today's rival NATURES LAW in one of them and though the winner is slightly worse off she can confirm the form and make a successful reappearance. Thorntoun Lady returned to form on fast ground here last month though this is her first start over this trip and she's always run on fast going. True Pleasure has been running well on Polytrack but is 9lb higher than his last victory and may be a few pounds high. Spavento is just 2lb higher than when scoring here in June and is perfectly capable of a repeat if in the mood
