Fit For Function, three-times a winner around here including under today's young rider, has a chance at the weights if nearing his best. Linus Larrabee is back on the same mark as his only success here a year ago but Hot Bell has been performing on ground with plenty of give and hasn't run here before. AMPESON (NAP) had shown very little before coming in for support and finishing a close second to Accessory, who was receiving 11lb, here last month. A similar effort can see him go one better despite a 3lb rise. Kudbegood likes it here and Sam Ewing's claim is a bonus while Sir Dotti made a promising track debut three weeks ago and has gone down 1lb so has to be considered.
