Miss Blink is now 10lb higher than her last win back in May, though she did go close at Bath on her penultimate start. In contrast, Eastern Gift has slipped down the weights but has something to prove over today's trip. RECALCITRANT is back on a winning mark and, with an apprentice taking another 3lb off his back, he gets the vote to take advantage. Both of Jovial's victories have come over a longer distance and Vinces is creeping up the weights without winning.
