Plenty of recent winners on show with ARLEY HALL making most appeal. She won a similar event at Redcar last week by five lengths which looks stronger form than Norfolk Sky's defeat of Lady Romanza over a shorter trip here a fortnight ago. Uncle Roger scored over C&D last time but has a tougher task on today's terms and Wolverhampton maiden winner, Ty Gwr, is preferred. Mohair is open to further progress but Sunny Bank looks up against it.
