This looks an unusually-competitive Class 6 with four of these recent winners. Boy In The Bar, Yanifer and Mabo are all penalised to varying degrees and the latter is far from certain to confirm recent course running with Grandstand. Moxy Mares has gone up 6lb for scoring on soft going at Lingfield 11 days ago but Globe Theatre ran well off this mark at Chepstow after winning at Wolverhampton. CURTIZ has only won on the all-weather so far but has caught the eye twice on Turf since returning from a short break and a further drop in the weights is a bonus. Thunder Lily may be best of the rest.
