Thakrah won at Chelmsford between her more usual moderate efforts while maiden winner Little Girl Blue has subsequently struggled. Fair And Square looks no nearer winning while Sparked won a classified race back in July. Coolagh Magic has returned to a winning mark but LOTHIAN is 9lb lower than when scoring at Kempton last year and it could be his turn again today after a better effort at Windsor last time.
