Miss Cunning has won three times here but has struggled from her raised mark and had no answer to Leabaland over track and trip last month when the latter was completing a double. A 5lb rise makes this tougher for the winner and he's up against another progressive type in HELEN DE POURTALES. She's also up the same amount for a second track victory last month but is improving fast enough to defy the extra. Macocha ran easily her best race to date when running on nicely over 7f here behind the in-form Scherzando last month while Punk Poet showed his best form when stepped up to the extended 1m2f course last week.
