My Lucille went up 7lb for landing a course and distance handicap and has struggled to make an impact from her new mark. Lincoln Rocks had Bell Heather almost two lengths behind when they were 1-2 at Haydock and can confirm the form on 4lb worse terms. Livella Fella is generally consistent though at a slightly lower level, a remark that also applies to The Wee Barra who is still higher in the ratings than when scoring here in May. DARK INTENTION (NAP) won a Chester maiden over 7f in May then stayed on strongly over that trip at Musselburgh in what looked a decent contest. Her pedigree suggests she should improve with age so this should prove within her capabilities. Ninetta looked one-paced at Beverley on Sunday and this looks a better race.
