TRO NESA still comes out best at the weights, even before her allowances are taken into consideration. Ann Duffield's filly can return to winning ways dropping in class and distance after finishing runner-up at Ayr on her last couple of starts. Saucy Brown won a similar contest over a longer trip here last month but stablemate and recent C&D winner Sands Of Dee makes more appeal at today's weights. Tabiet and Running Water have plenty to find on today's terms, however, though The Fiery Cross is open to improvement.
