LADY CAPRICE won twice over the minimum trip on the Polytrack last month. She's been raised a further 5lb today but looks worth sticking with until beaten. Majestic Rose won her maiden over C&D and has claims on her first start since September, but both Gin Twist and Redair scored on their penultimate starts in lesser company and were well beaten last time. Russian Bullet has gone up another 3lb for finishing second and he's now 8lb higher than November's victory over track and trip, while Dawn Lightning is capable of making the frame if in the mood.
