Dear Mary has failed to build on her fourth at Carlisle in June but stablemate Chat Up Line won on soft ground at Nottingham last month and, with a testing surface likely again, should be thereabouts. Lightning Point travels up from Newmarket with a chance but CRACK THE KODE (NAP) was only headed close home at Pontefract last time. The second has franked the form since and Kevin Ryan’s gelding looks the one to be on here.
