GALAGO came good with a three length win over 6f here last week and should stay this extra distance. He is taken to shrug off a penalty and go in again at the main expense of Sculptured, a runner-up at Lingfield on her recent reappearance. Mecado won a seller here back in December and will find this tougher while Vejovis failed to cope with a 4lb rise last time and has to race off a higher mark today for an earlier win at Lingfield.
