FOX HILL (NAP) had been well beaten in all starts this season before a comfortable victory at Nottingham last week for which she's been raised 8lb. She comes here with a 5lb penalty but her rider claims that amount back so she's very well handicapped. First Company has generally raced in stronger grades and will appreciate the drop in class while five-times winner Wrenthorpe has scored in higher grade. Burj Malinka won a Class 6 handicap over 5f at Hamilton and this is tougher but Albegone will enjoy the conditions more than most.
