Seamus Cronin and Tonto's Spirit turned a soft-ground handicap over 1m6f here into a procession 10 days ago and even a 9lb rise shouldn't pose a problem, though these rivals may not allow the combination the same leeway. Ingleby Hollow went to Redcar the following day and scored over that same trip and is just 4lb higher but Bianca Minola, who went up 9lb for a comprehensive victory at Ffos Las in August, didn't perform as well on her first start on Tapeta. In Focus has been in good form though at a lower level while the recent victory of Adherence was in a Class 6 handicap. ONLY ORSENFOOLSIES was having only his second run since February when just failing to catch Jabbaar, who runs earlier, over 1m4f here 10 days ago. He has no problems with the trip or ground and is taking a slight drop in class so looks the one to be on.
