Yaa Mous bids for a hat-trick but is upped in class off an 8lb higher mark while Dramatic Queen drops back down in distance having faced tougher tasks than this so far this year. Novice winner WELSH LORD is preferred now handicapping having found one too good attempting to defy a penalty over today’s trip at Lingfield last month. Dancer Cross was well beaten in Listed company last time but ran well at Chelmsford earlier but Perfect Illusion continues to struggle.
