Although she only landed a course and distance handicap narrowly three weeks ago, FLEURTILLE was carrying a huge weight in that amateurs' event and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another victory in ground she will love. Coalburn looks a big threat as he scored over this trip on heavy going at Ffos Las before fading close home over 6f at Brighton. Fathom Five hasn't won since 2010 and Quality Art appears to be better suited to quicker ground but New Decade ran his best race for a long time on heavy going at Notingham last time and can make his presence felt.
