Her Way opened her account with a victory on fast ground at Chepstow and carries 6lb extra. Smokey Malone has been raised the same amount for winning at Nottingham while Celestial Point failed to land the odds at Yarmouth when bidding for hat-trick. Arenas Del Tiempo placed over track and trip in between poor efforts but a chance is taken on BOOKMARK, who makes her handicap debut on her reappearance with this longer trip likely to suit.
