Extrasolar beat Super Florence over track and trip in August and the former is only 2lb higher today. Mr Strutter won at Thirsk in the same month and scored here during the summer while Hee Haw has a shout with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause having scored at Haydock earlier. But SHORTBACKANDSIDES (NAP) won a higher grade sprint at Ripon back in August and Tim Easterby’s charge gets another chance today having gone close the last twice and finishing clear of the rest when runner-up at Ayr a week ago. Chickenfortea finished in front of Sfumato when runner-up over 7f here last time and Super Florence was placed over the same trip at Musselburgh.
