Popsi had a short-head to spare over OUR LITTLE PONY in a seller at Redcar and will be better off at the weights. However, the runner-up was making her debut and didn't get going until too late so today's much stiffer track can enable her to turn the tables and go one better. Fourth-placed Society's Dream looks held but Just For The Craic drops into this grade for the first time and hasn't been running badly in maidens including on this track. Gay Kelleway doesn't send many here and One Drunken Night is by Sakhee's Secret out of a mare who has produced no less than eight winners with her first nine foals to race.
