Baileys Pursuit had slipped down the handicap before scoring at Wolverhampton last time and may struggle to cope with a 5lb rise. DUNNSCOTIA never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Bath last time but drops down a grade for this and Paul Webber's charge looks capable of opening his account. The remainder have yet to show any worthwhile form though Mandria finished closer on her latest start at Wolverhampton back in November and Silence In Court finished ahead of Bickershaw when well beaten at Windsor last time.
