HORSFORTH is usually thereabouts without winning but this looks a really weak handicap and she may well come out best this time. She was well ahead of Oriental Splendour at Pontefract earlier and can reverse earlier running here with Windforpower. Wilde Extravagance is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best but Novabridge remains a shade high in the weights on recent evidence.
