Value Theory made most of the running when winning at Ripon but looks vulnerable in this if similar tactics are adopted. Sea Galaxy beat the odds-on favourite in a match at Windsor and makes her handicap debut but FLORA FINCH is preferred. The latter made a belated seasonal debut at Thirsk a fortnight ago and, with a hood applied today and this extra distance likely to suit, a big improvement is expected. Belhaven is another upped in distance but Reel Rosie remains unpredictable, though beat Thebeautifulgame when scoring at Nottingham last month.
