Si Senor went close here last time and Paddy Piley's 5lb claim allows him to race off the same mark as when successful over track and trip before that. He is preferred to Loyalty, who narrowly beat Bold Prediction at Chelmsford recently and is also partnered by an apprentice today. Anonymous John and Big Time look high enough in the weights at present and Illusive is returning from a five-month lay-off but ABBEY ANGEL (NAP) makes plenty of appeal. She arrives on the back of a double at Wolverhampton and dropping down a grade for this, Richard Fahey's progressive filly can defy a further 4lb rise.
