Midnight Callisto was too keen dropped to 2m last time and probably needs to be eased a few pounds. She may also be taken on for the lead by Progressive. Sashenka has had a couple of runs on the all-weather here since her second at Hereford in October but Allavina has become disappointing and Joyful Kit is a long-standing maiden. IORENS failed to land the odds at Market Rasen after finishing second on her debut under Rules but she’s had wind surgery since and has easily the most scope of these.
