Sula Island disappointed on her handicap debut and was then beaten when favourite at Fakenham. She has to give 11lb here to PETERS COUSIN and that may prove beyond the top weight. Nicky Richards’ mare made mistakes when favourite at Ayr and weakened on the run-in but should be suited by this quicker surface. Ratoute Yutty needs to bounce back from a poor run at Chepstow but Its All A Lark has run well in both starts since joining Donald McCain and shouldn’t be far away again.
