Most of these have been plodding their way around the minor northern tracks for much of the winter and it may be a case of finding that comes here relatively fresh. It's difficult to put a finger on what's happened to ITS TEESCOMPONENTS, who has been pulled up in her last three starts. But she's dropped dramatically in both class and trip today and is now 8lb lower than her last winning mark. If anywhere near her best, Keith Reveley's mare would be hard to beat. French Ties won at Leicester in March but has been raised a further 3lb for finishing second at Uttoxeter earlier this month, while Lindseyfield Lodge and Nifty Roy are on long losing runs.
