Slovak landed a double with success over a mile here a fortnight ago but is upped a couple of grades for this. Last week's Wolverhampton winner Queen Aggie and Lady Lydia are also upped in class and preference is for those at the top of the weights. Saucy Minx scored in this grade at Salisbury last year off today's mark but SUBTLE KNIFE won with a bit to spare over track and trip last month with Glastonberry back in fifth and looks capable of going close again.
