Summer Valley won over track and trip earlier in the month but is 7lb higher having been beaten subsequently. Junoesque scored at Nottingham recently and has won five times on faster going here in the past while Her Way went close in a lower grade at Bath last month. But ALAMBRISTA (NAP) is expected to show a big improvement stepping up in trip for her handicap debut and is taken to make a winning return with Sir Mark Prescott’s yard in flying form.
