Krazy Paving was second at Brighton last time without threatening the winner but hasn’t won on Turf since 2014. SARABI hasn’t won anywhere since 2016 but may have finally slid far enough down the weights to get her head back in front having placed at Thirsk recently and she gets a speculative vote in a weak handicap. Monarch Maid and Wild Acclaim were also placed on their latest starts while Cliff won off a higher mark last season and could bounce back at any time.
