OBSESSEDWITHYOU is penalised for her win at Wetherby in October but this looks a good opportunity for Jamie Snowden’s filly to get her head back in front. Scratch Card is a half-brother to numerous winners on the Flat and led for a long way in a bumper on his debut so may have more scope than Juggernaut and Quality.
