Stoney Lane won this off today’s mark last year though is making his seasonal debut this time. NORTHBOUND has just the one win on Turf but finished runner-up at Carlisle last time and this won’t take much winning. Dr Rio finished closer at Newcastle last week and Stripzee scored over a longer trip here last summer but Twilight Jazz looks no nearer to breaking her duck.
