Market Choice won over 5f at Thirsk but was beaten off a 3lb higher mark last time and a 6lb rise proved beyond Doncaster winner Laila Honiwillow over track and trip in August. Ad Vitam won at Wolverhampton last November but has yet to race this year while Lucky Lodge and Big Amigo are closely matched on latest running over 7f. ENCANTAR (NAP) has slipped 5lb down the weights this year and went close at Ripon last time. Ann Duffield’s filly can return to winning ways off her current mark so gets the vote.
