Kath's Lustre won over 6f here recently but stays this far and an apprentice’s allowance negates a 2lb rise. Great Shot Sam ended last year with a novice win over 7f at Newcastle but Lady Marigold won over an extended 5f at Bath in October and has something to prove. Line House struggled under a penalty at Southwell having won at the same track earlier while NO MORE THRILLS went close dropped back to 6f here last time. But the Hannon filly had scored over today’s trip at Chelmsford earlier and she gets another chance now handicapping for the first time.
