Abnaa is penalised for winning over track and trip a week ago while Tamaska has gone close here since winning at Doncaster in August. Harry Love was expected to finish closer at Wolverhampton last time while Eponina has been in good form over a mile on Turf but has yet to win on the all-weather in 24 attempts. DABIRSTAR (NAP) was sent off favourite to win a novices' race over 6f here on her return from a lay-off. She duly obliged and there looks more to come from Karl Burke’s filly now handicapping.
