Storm Chaser is due to be raised 11lb for winning over a longer trip at Nottingham but has to prove that was no fluke as she was allowed to take a clear lead in an apprentices’ race and was never challenged. Bookmark is penalised for winning at Doncaster and can figure again but James Fanshawe sent out last year’s winner and GREEK FLAME (NAP) makes most appeal. The latter debuts on Turf having been beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton on her handicap bow and this extra distance will suit. Ripon third Can Can Girl is preferred to Iconique of the rest.
