DOVIL'S DUEL had signalled a return to form at Bath in April and had little difficulty winning there last month. The assessor has taken note and raised him 7lb but this looks no tougher and he can complete a double. Flutterbee gained her only success to date over 1m4f but she's been going well over this trip and looks a threat. Innoko has been very consistent this year and won on soft ground here last month and a 4lb rise shouldn't prove much of an inconvenience. Highlife Dancer has won 15 times and was staying on strongly over this trip at Yarmouth on Friday so may not have finished yet.
