Forest Demon loves quick going as he showed over the trip at Newmarket so a 4lb rise looks manageable. KHINJANI was always travelling like a winner at Haydock and though stepping up in grade is just 2lb higher and can go in again. Bloomwithgrace is still a maiden but hasn't been beaten far in recent runs while Gold Aura was returning from a break when staying on over a mile at Salisbury. Unlimited has been disappointing but makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark while Yamalia Star travels from Ireland and she led to this trip when tackling 1m4f at Roscommon.
