LIL'S JOY steps to 6f for the first time but has plenty more going for her. A dual winner last year, she went on to finish second in a couple of soft-ground pattern races in France and Giles Bravery's filly should be winning this off a mark of 106. Sixties Sue is clear of Thatsallimsaying on today's terms as she returns to action for Mick Channon's in-form yard while C Note went close on his only start of last year when third over 7f on good ground at Newmarket.
