Dropped into claiming company this season, JUST LILLE has won both outings. She can race on favourable terms once again here and a hat-trick looks on the cards. Ann Duffield's mare has yet to score in soft ground, but that also applies to her principal rivals including recent York winner Trip The Light and Comedy Act, who scored at Warwick earlier this month. Jewelled Dagger's three wins this season were all registered on good to firm and Shotley Mac has plenty to prove taking a big step up in trip.
