Summerinthecity is upped 5lb having beaten Seamster at Chelsmford last week with Hamis Al Bin further behind. Rocket Rob ended a long losing run when scoring over the minimum trip here earlier in the month while Ohsosecret also won over 5f before she was beaten over today's distance at Chelmsford. ENCAPSULATED (NAP) was successful over track and trip in December and ran well again in a higher grade than this at Chelmsford on his latest start. He has the beating of Ghost Train, Duke Of North and Rigolleto and gets the nod.
