Rooful was beaten over track and trip between victories over 7f here and has a 12lb hike to contend with. GOLDEN MAYFLOWER is preferred as she was beaten only a head at Lingfield on her first outing after wind surgery and look capable of opening her account off her current mark. Third Batch, Lightship and Rubina Rose all make their handicap debuts with the former looking to have the strongest form.
