Cabaret Girl was almost certainly flattered by her latest fourth in a Listed handicap at Cheltenham but can race off her correct mark here and is relatively lightly raced. The Society Man has run well here in the past while Finding Your Feet continues to tumble down the weights and won off this mark over hurdles last August. The Purchaser is gradually getting his act together and makes more appeal than Pagham Belle but Leicester winner THORESBY was a bit unlucky not to follow up at Stratford and, despite being raised another 4lb, may have enough to get back on track.
