The three-year-old Cousin Shay was produced on the line to score over 7f last week and is only 2lb higher so has an obvious chance of following up. Circles looked progressive when beaten a short-head over that trip at the same fixture and is on the same mark. MISS ABBY JOOLS went up 6lb for scoring over track and trip in September and made a bold bid to defy the extra a fortnight ago when runner-up to Ellabella, who goes in the previous race. She can improve again and gets the nod though course and distance winner Leabaland is in fine form and was attempting to concede Zorik 17lb when runner-up last month.
