Wolverhampton winner Yojojo needs a bit more off her current mark and the same can be said of Imaginary World. The latter makes more appeal with a 5lb claimer on board today. Lily Edge has lost her edge on the evidence of her recent efforts though she landed a double over track and trip earlier this year and Balady has shown nothing in a couple of starts so far this season. PRINCESS ICICLE didn't last home over 1m2f here last time but her previous form over today's trip gives her leading claims and Jo Crowley's mare gets the nod.
