LATE NIGHT LILY and My Mo are both ridden by 5lb claimers who almost negate their penalties. The former, back on track at Market Rasen last month, is the least exposed and rated 2lb higher so should win again. Sunnytahliateigan may improve for a switch to hurdles and makes more appeal than High Wheeler, the Flat convert Voice Control and the exposed Kabanga Bay.
