Dash Back and Dazzle Them have run very well on their latest starts here but both have high draws to contend with in this competitive affair. Almadaa has yet to win a race in 23 starts and was behind Trotting Weasel over 6f here last week. The latter was gaining his second success in 42 starts so is hardly prolific and the longer trip may not be in his favour. ASHTON ROSE has won her last two races here, both over a mile, after leading at the 2f pole so the shorter trip shouldn't be a problem. She has a decent draw and is only 2lb higher than for her latest success and can complete a hat-trick. Tamujin, who wasn't far behind her last time, is probably better over further.
