It's difficult to have much confidence in any of these and even the selection TRUE COURSE needs to improve on last month's handicap debut fourth at Leicester. But she may do so and is preferred to Sparbrook, up 5lb after opening her account over 6f here last time with River Spirit back in fifth. Jimmy's Girl won a seller back in August but has finished nearer last in subsequent starts, though Surrey Pink finished a bit closer at Musselburgh recently having slipped down the weights.
