Dad's Girl beat Lily Moreton by just under a length over track and trip last month but the runner-up is weighted to reverse that form today. Westhoughton deserves a change of luck and shouldn't be far away again but the handicapper has taken no chances with either Youcouldntmakeitup or the once-raced Zebilini. SPEND A PENNY (NAP) still looked a bit weak earlier in the summer and has been given a couple of months off to strengthen up. He only gave best close home in a much better race than this at York last time and could have been let in lightly here.
