Gypsy Major was three lengths in front of the rest, including Cuppatee, when winning over track and trip. Not surprisingly, he’s been raised 8lb for that success and SUGAR TOWN is preferred off her current mark. Peter Niven’s mare is only 4lb higher than her earlier win over course and distance and has been placed at Thirsk subsequently when ahead of Amis Reunis. Danzeb slips further down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
