Essgee Nics was winning for the first time on his 12th start when just getting up over the course and distance last month and is only 5lb higher, though that was on fast going. It's hardly surprising to see RARE GLAM turning out under a penalty for last week's impressive all-the-way victory over the course and distance on soft ground. That was her first encounter with those conditions and the assessor is likely to hit her harder than the extra she carries here. Buto ran his best race to date on this track earlier in the month while Saigon Suzi, who is by Sir Percy, will find this trip much more to her liking on her handicap debut after racing over 7f.
