MARINERS LODGE will be a warm order here under a penalty for last week's romp at Ayr and should complete a quick double with the proviso that he stays the longer trip. Tegan showed her first real sign of form when staying on over 1m2f here last month and she gets enough weight to be a threat while easy Polytrack winner Covert Decree probably needed her run at Windsor last month after a break since March. Elfine will need to improve on what she's shown to date.
