ENGRAVE has recorded all three wins so far over track and trip including last week’s success. She’s penalised for that but another bold bid is expected in what looks a weak contest. Headley George will find this tougher than the classified race he won here last month while Critique returns to action still looking for his first win. Lady Of York can race off a lower mark than when scoring over 1m4f at Wolverhampton back in November and is preferred to Dyagilev.

Dyagilev 11-2 (9-7) Outpaced in rear early, ridden along and outpaced over 3f out, made no impression from 2f out, 7th of 9, 9 1/4l behind Susie Javea (9-6) at Southwell 1m hcp (6) pol in Feb.
