Popsicle appears to have turned a corner and overcame trouble in-running to get off the mark at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. She’s only gone up 4lb so a repeat could be on the cards, though she looks to have a poor draw. N OVER J starts against the stands’ rail and has gone close the last twice in better company since reverting to 7f. He won over this trip at Salisbury last year and is overdue another success. Invincible Peace is interesting on his handicap debut having produced a much better effort last time at Kempton and Affluence and Tember are others likely to be in the firing-line. Herringswell has been going well at Yarmouth and also enters calculations.
