Final Delivery was beaten only a short-head at Wolverhampton last week and can race off the same mark today. Litmus ran below par on her latest start but scored over track and trip last month and the veteran Scamperdale finished ahead of Indian Violet and Dreaming Again when third here recently. Petersboden is usually thereabouts without being good enough, but MINSTRELS GALLERY was having his first start since 2012 when going close at Kempton and Lucy Wadham's charge gets another chance off today's mark with this longer trip likely to suit.
