There are numerous multiple course winners here including Adams Barbour, successful seven times in 20 starts on the track and dropping to his lowest mark since his last victory. Rocky Dreams won for the fifth time here in September and has raced over further in his last two starts while Hodd's Girl produced her fourth course victory when tackling 7f the same month and very nearly defied a massive 10lb rise a month ago. Ampeson found a mile too far last time though is probably better over 7f while Arcanears hasn't won for a year, though is 9lb lower as a consequence. LITTLE QUEENIE scored over course and distance on her only visit in April. Lightly-raced subsequently, she has the scope to take advantage of a lowly mark under her regular partner. Tai Sing Yeh was fourth in a claimer on Wednesday while Maritime Rules scored for Richard Hannon at Chelmsford but faces a stiff task on his debut for new connections. Dandyville would have to be considered if getting a run.
