Show Stealer is eased in grade and Nicola Currie takes off a handy 5lb. Hart Stopper should be all the better for a run over a trip too far on the Rowley Mile here last month. Envisaging has a poor strike-rate but there was some promise in his fifth at Doncaster while Kodiline is easing towards a decent mark, though might need this. Rockies Spirit is usually thereabouts but still looks a few pounds too high. BURIDAN makes his handicap debut and looks to be on a fair mark on a couple of runs at Windsor, though the assessor has also given a chance to the more-exposed Meshardal. Left Alone was a bit disappointing on her reappearance at Redcar and is now tried in blinkers.
