Verdict

Not surprisingly, Delightful Sleep couldn't cope with a an 8lb rise at Wolverhampton last time and is immediately dropped 3lb but Commercial went close again last week having won here before that. Fleetwoodsands has done all his winning so far over 7f including here on his latest start while Athletic has a couple of lengths to find on latest running with FLAMBOROUGH BREEZE. The top weight scored over track and trip last week with a bit to spare and Ed Vaughan's filly is fancied to shrug off a penalty and follow-up.
