Roxane Bruere is only 4lb higher than when scoring under today's rider at Huntingdon earlier in the month. Robin Dickin's mare should go close again while there are possibilities about the unexposed Empire Seeker in his first handicap. Celtic Ballad was third at Folkestone last time but the one to beat may be ILLYSANTACHRISTINA. The eight-year-old had Lady Of Ashcott behind when runner-up to Smokey George at Leicester on New Year's Eve and the winner has gone in again since.
