TIKTHEBOX came good back over this trip at Redcar and should be suited by the uphill finish here. He's preferred to First Party, who has been raised a couple of pounds since her third over 5f at Musselburgh. Catterick and Ripon winner Cuppatee may be a few pounds too high as well now but still makes more appeal than the remainder, who all need to find more if they are to get off the mark.
