In depth
Verdict
Both Pendo and Venus Grace usually manage to find at least one too good but Evacusafe Lady scored over 1m2f here last time. She drops in trip and is upped 5lb while Roxie Lot failed to cope with a 4lb rise for her earlier win over track and trip when well beaten back here three weeks ago. JAM JAR made her handicap debut in a higher grade than this at Carlisle last month and fared well enough without threatening the winner. The handicapper has taken a chance dropping Hughie Morrison's filly 3lb and she gets the nod to open her account.
