The Geegeez Geegee is upped 5lb for winning at Plumpton but should give another good account and is preferred to Carlisle runner-up Pixiepot. Falcarragh can race off a much lower mark over timber but was still well beaten at Bangor last time while both Drombeg West and Easter Hunt have been struggling of late. PALM GREY has been competing in better company than this since scoring at Hexham earlier in the year and Sue Smith's charge may be good enough on his return to action back in this lower grade.
