A couple of these can race off lower marks back on the all-weather. But Circuitous recorded his course win back in 2012 and Barista has had 11 starts on this surface without success. HELLBENDER makes more appeal given he was winning at Lingfield off a 15lb higher mark last year and went close at Ayr on his latest start. Queen Zain is lightly-raced and may figure on her handicap bow while the likes of Bond Fastrac and Mount Hollow have both tumbled down the weights.
