Beyondtemptation is a standing dish here but Jonathan Haynes' mare has looked in the handicapper's grip lately and has never won on ground this quick. Always Tipsy tipped up at the last at Perth when looking in control but has gone up in the weights again since. Lowcarr Motion was due to return from an absence at Aintree last night while Back To Bracka hasn't raced since December and will be back over fences shortly. CHILLY MISS found 2m too short here last week but wasn't beaten far and looks to have a good chance of picking up the winning thread again today.
