A low-grade handicap with very little recent form to go on though both Theophilus and LOVELY CARRIG were placed here last week. The former finished third over this trip while the latter was staying on strongly over 2m and looks ready to score again after a long losing run. Each Way was in the process of running her best race to date at Wexford when falling at the last while Sporty Yankee will be having just his third start since joining Gordon Elliott and is on a very lowly mark. Grey Habit did a bit better at Wexford last time and can't go any lower in the weights.
