Captain Vallo is 5lb lower than when winning this last year while Idoapologise is penalised 5lb for winning at Wolverhampton. But RHYTHM gets another chance off her current mark having placed at Pontefract the last twice now with an apprentice’s allowance further helping her cause in this. Saxon Village has more scope than most and is preferred to the likes of Al Ameen and Lezardrieux.
