Lady Lavina has been well beaten in handicaps since winning at Kempton but is rated 12lb lower than SHE’S HOT. The latter is penalised for landing the odds at Ffos Las with the minimum of fuss but should still have the measure of these. Little Lips never threatened when third at Wolverhampton while Sexy Rexy may prove best of the newcomers.
