Most of these are looking to make amends for below par efforts when last seen at the track. Dark Opal won over track and trip in August but was well beaten on her recent comeback and Hit The Lights finished eight lengths behind the winner last time having scored at Pontefract before that. Yarmouth maiden winner Different made no impression on her handicap debut and Lexington Place has failed to figure since winning over 6f here last month. Our Diane and Bapak Bangsawan need to improve and preference goes to ALGAR LAD, who scored at the first time of asking when successful at Musselburgh and has plenty of scope.
