KATNISS (NAP) was having only her sixth start when landing a Lingfield handicap and though she's 6lb higher this low-grade event looks a good opportunity for her to complete a double. Duc de Seville has only won at Wolverhampton and his two recent improved runs came on ground with plenty of give. Hermosa Vaquera's only victory has been over hurdles while connections of Kicking The Can will be hoping first-time blinkers have the desired effect on his first start beyond 1m2f. Sakhra remains a maiden after 22 starts though was racing from a 20lb higher mark at this time a year ago.
