Osteopathic Remedy, Fantasy Parkes and Xpres Maite are the three against the field in this tricky handicap, with Osteopathic Remedy taken to follow up a last time out win. Fantasy Parkes won on her debut last season and then ran well in the Nell Gwyn, beaten only three lengths. Her form fell away after that, but she shaped encouragingly when second on her re-appearance at Redcar. She runs off the same mark here and can reach the frame. Xpres Maite is rated eight pounds lower on Turf than on the all-weather but his all-weather form so far outstrips his turf progress. He is 17 pounds higher than when scoring on good ground at Southwell, and though he is on the upgrade, he may be anchored by top weight. Ostoepathic Remedy had apparently been galloping well at home prior to a Thirsk win last time. That was his first success since scoring on his debut, but raised only four pounds for that Thirsk win, the handicapper seems to have let him off lightly, and Osteopathic Remedey can score again.
