Rose Marmara has won three times around here and is 6lb lower than her last victory though she finished last behind RUX RUXX over the track and trip in July. The winner has since won at Musselburgh and wasn't disgraced in a Class 2 handicap at York last time. Strawberryandcream landed a course and distance maiden in July but has since been beaten in two Class 5 handicaps at Pontefract. Kindly won twice for Simon Crisford and also for Jonny Levins in Ireland. She'll have needed her run at Carlisle in July and has to be respected. None of the remaining trio can be dismissed in what looks a tight handicap.
