Mubtasimah completed a hat-trick in mid-summer but has struggled from her new mark in better company. Black Lotus was impressive when landing a Class 4 handicap at Windsor but this is a step-up in grade from 6lb higher. SUFFICIENT (NAP) overcame trouble in-running to score at this level at Newbury and can gain her third victory in four starts as Lady Bowthorpe has gone up 3lb despite being beaten in a Class 4 handicap at Sandown. Be More found fast going against her after scoring on soft at Chester and is greatly respected.
