A couple of these won at last Saturday’s meeting here with Rey Loopy staying on well to score over a mile. He carries 6lb extra along with course and distance winner GUN CASE but the latter is preferred in this given Alistair Whillans’ charge won off a higher mark last year. Epeius scored over 6f here earlier in the season while My Girl Maisie is usually thereabouts on Turf and Insurplus can figure back over 7f today. The unexposed Eddiebet has slid rapidly down the weights and is another to note.
