Kylie Rules has won four times here and didn't get the clearest of runs at Thirsk last time though she's on a long losing run and has been beaten off this mark the last twice. KENTUCKY KITTEN showed potential in his first campaign and attracted support for his return to action at Ripon but got no sort of run. He's been dropped 1lb in the ratings and Ella McCain claims her 5lb so Tim Easterby's charge can get off the mark. Solar Joe chased home an odds-on chance at Thirsk and makes his handicap debut while Ollie Pears gets winners here and Crown Princess has finished runner-up in all four starts on the track.
