DYLIEV ran no sort of race here last week but was given plenty to do and still finished ahead of Chilli Romance. Sean Bowen is back on board today and Caroline Bailey’s mare gets another chance to build on earlier promise. Irish import Cock A Doodle Doo should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of runs for the Skeltons and looks the danger as Annie Bonny needs more under a welter burden. Little Pippin only scrambled home in a poor race at Hexham last month and is 6lb higher while Katebird was engaged yesterday at Uttoxeter.
