Alizee De Janeiro has placed on her last couple of visits to this venue but is now 10lb higher than when scoring at Musselburgh in March. Mitcd usually saves her best for Sedgefield and was third at that track last time while Matts Legacy occupied the same finishing position at Chepstow in October having slipped down the weights. But DAKOTA GREY (NAP) began the year on a 20lb higher mark and after posting a much better effort at Carlisle a week ago, Micky Hammond’s charge gets the vote to return to winning ways.
