LESOTHO has her first start since landing a maiden at Hamilton in July. She beat a couple of subsequent winners on that occasion and there should be more to come this year. Blodwen Abbey won twice over longer trips at Wolverhampton last season and also has claims on her comeback, while C&D winner Mitie Mouse is another to consider on his best two-year-old form. J J Leary has improved for the drop back to sprinting but is 6lb higher than his victory at Wolverhampton earlier this month and Bookiesindexdotnet makes more appeal having run well in better company last time.
