STANLOW just did enough to get his head in front at this track before following up at Wolverhampton last time. He's only been raised 3lb and a hat-trick looks on the cards. Standing Strong went close stepped up to 1m4f on his latest start and Brighton winner Dawn Rock has a shout on her return to action. Dazzling Valentine scored off a 6lb higher mark on the Turf course here last summer and has claims on that form while Dreaming Again has scope for improvement stepping up in trip and may prove best of the rest.
