SHE’SASUPERMACK (NAP) won over a shorter trip here before upped in class and encountering heavy going at Uttoxeter. Iain Jardine’s mare stays this far and can go close back at this level. Glittering Love returned a losing favourite at Ayr having ran well at the same track earlier. He’s another capable of better on this faster going but Blaklion has yet to show any improvement for a tumble down the weights though is having only his third outing for Dan Skelton’s yard. Count Meribel is another looking for a return to form and is finally back on a winning mark.
