If in the same mood, a penalty is unlikely to prevent MARLEE MASSIE following up Sunday's wide-margin victory at Kelso in what looks an equally modest affair. Beyondtemptation will doubtless set a strong pace again and that will suit Nick Alexander's charge, who stays further. Cruachan has no form on heavy going but Redkalani may be capable of better, though hasn't raced since March. Maybe I Wont's only win over hurdles came off a 16lb higher mark but that was almost two years ago.
