HURT YOU NEVER has turned into a useful sprinter at this modest level this season and was especially impressive in dishing out a five-length beating to her rivals last time in an amateur riders' handicap at Redcar. Mia Nicholls is proving good value for her 5lb claim and the filly faces the same trip and ground as at Redcar. It's the same story for Port Noir who has the assistance of Billy Loughnane, although he'd shown little this season prior to obliging at Lingfield. The former appears the more reliable and is preferred. Almodovar De Rio is only 1-16 but is usually in the shake-up and should be in contention once again with conditions to suit. He's shortlisted along with Jupiter Express who appeals as best of the Appleby pair despite topweight.
Jupiter Express (IRE) 6-1 (9-8) In touch, pushed along and headway over 1f out, staying on when short of room inside final furlong, eased, 7th of 10, 4 1/2l behind Lezardrieux (9-6) at Catterick 6f hcp (5) gf in May.

Port Noir 11-2 (9-1) Soon off the pace in last trio, headway chasing leaders over 1f out, led inside final furlong, ridden and ran on, won at Lingfield 6f hcp (6) gf in May beating Mr Fayez (8-9) by 1/2l, 8 ran.
