Two of the three runners in this hail from the same yard and DAWNIERIVER looks better treated than Sheneededtherun in receipt of 13lb. Ben Poste’s mount was only beaten a length-and-a-quarter at Uttoxeter on her first run since wind surgery, though the top weight is only a pound higher than when scoring at Warwick in March. Expresstime runs in her first handicap but she’ll need to improve.
