An 8lb rise for his latest win at Wolverhampton looks likely to prevent a follow up from Jonnie Skull as he's yet to win over today's distance. Cyflymder has also done his winning over shorter trips, including a seller over 7f here last time, while both Scary Movie and Lutine Charlie remain below par despite slipping down the weights. PRINCESS LEXI has yet to score on the all-weather but can race off a lower mark than her turf rating as a consequence and looks ready to take advantage after going close over C&D last time.
