Coillte Eile returned from a break with a career-best at Ascot. She is 5lb higher but Cillian Leonard against takes off 7lb and she is unlikely to be far away again.

Miss Tynte is still running well and won over further at Plumpton but CULTURE DE SIVOLA (NAP) looks poised to record back-to-back victories in this with Chester Williams taking off a valuable 5lb today.
