Question marks hang over most of these and that includes last month's Kempton winner Candesta, who is only a pound higher but hasn't really threatened around here in four previous tries. Silver Lining continues to let down supporters and remains winless while Oakley Star is also still chasing a first victory, though was only beaten half a length over course and distance last time and is partnered by one of the more experienced apprentices in this. Lulu Stanford won on YOUNG JACKIE at Brighton in June and the pair have been placed in both starts since. The mare has won off a higher mark around here so there is no reason why she won't be in the firing line again with her rider taking off 7lb.
