LES GAR GAN is penalised for last week's win at Wolverhampton. But he won a selling handicap off a higher mark early this year and today's opposition is only modest to say the least. Kristal Hart looks the biggest threat having won twice on the all-weather this year including at Chelmsford last month. Lily Edge scored twice over track and trip in 2014 but has been back on a winning mark for some time now while Spice Boat went close at a big price over course and distance in October.
