Chinese Jade will no doubt improve for the longer trip and her recent comeback outing at the track. Serena Grae is up 5lb for winning at Chepstow while Tete Orange landed a gamble at Yarmouth last time and has been raised 16lb for her trouble. Roskilly and Tinga are both looking to put recent poor efforts behind them but EYE CONTACT posted her best effort so far when third at Nottingham last time. She steps up in trip for her handicap debut and the Stoute filly gets the nod.
