Seinesational was beaten here just three days ago and is still penalised for an earlier win over track and trip. Avocet has gone close in both starts since landing a double but hasn’t raced since April while Lyford finished well ahead of Slowfoot when scoring over a slightly shorter trip here recently. Hell Of A Lady is yet another recent winner and steps up in trip today along with GEMINI (NAP) but the latter is preferred as she escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race by over four lengths at Bath. Jason Watson is allowed to use his 3lb claim on this occasion and she should go close effectively racing off a lower mark.
