Pammi won easily at Hamilton last week but is raised in class carrying 6lb extra today. Flower Power’s recent success at Beverley came in a seller and this is tougher while Fire Leopard failed to cope with a 5lb rise at Redcar last time for an earlier win at Thirsk. SEMPRE PRESTO won off today’s mark over 1m2f at Pontefract back in May and has placed over today’s trip the last twice. Richard Fahey’s filly may prove good enough in this company and gets the nod given Crimson Skies has something to prove over the distance.
