BABY BALLERINA gained her only victory to date on this track and she has generally performed well here so should make a bold bid under top weight and might be good enough. Cuppatee ran her best race for some time at Thirsk though that was over 6f which appears to be her best trip. Deben won over the course and distance early last month and didn't run badly in a better race at Musselburgh despite a 5lb rise but A Boy Named Sue could only finish third in a Thirsk seller last time and the remainder are badly out of form.
