Kozmina Bay beat Try It Sometime and Benability to record a second course and distance win last month but is now 8lb higher and has finished behind Passing Fiesta and Lady Garvagh over a shorter trip at Exeter since. The consistent Thornton Alice has won off today's mark and Daniel Hiskett's claim will aid her cause but she's giving 10lb to BRIDAL SUITE taking Tommy Dowling's 8lb allowance into consideration. Charlie Mann's gelding didn't quite get home over 3m at Exeter last time but that was a better effort and he's probably found his level now.
