Ninjago just missed out in an amateurs’ race here last time but remains 7lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in July. Night Law bids for a hat-trick raised a further 5lb after landing a double in softer ground at Catterick while Hic Bibi won twice in April but has her first outing since May. Penny Pot Lane scored at Pontefract earlier in the year and went close again at the same track last time but FLINT SAID NO remains unexposed having placed at Haydock on his return from a lay-off and Bryan Smart’s charge gets a speculative vote to come good in this with further improvement expected.
