Katja has been knocking on the door on the all-weather but is 2lb higher back on Turf. Both of Skinny Love's wins on Polytrack came in sellers but The Dandy Yank won handicaps at Lingfield and Kempton at the start of the year before coming up short in his hat-trick bid at Southwell. GROUNDWORKER reversed earlier Windsor running with Flashy Queen at that track on Monday but found Sleepy Sioux too good. Sylvester Kirk's maiden makes a swift reappearance off the same mark here and can finally get his head in front as Gulland Rock has 5lb more to carry than when winning narrowly at Catterick, when Narborough was third. The returning Captain Ryan may be best of the rest.
