The bottom pair are in very good form but both are out of the handicap and this looks competitive. Invincibella scored over this trip at Kempton and is back to the minimum after failing to hold the odds-on Furious over 6f at Chelmsford, though that was a good run. MOYASSAR gained his only victory on the latter track but he's run very well in defeat subsequently, especially when a very close third behind stable companion Ginger Nut in a tough York nursery. He can get back to winning ways though She Can Boogie is very speedy and a 5lb rise for her victory over the course and distance shouldn't prove too much of a problem. Posh Perfect has been showing good pace over 6f so the drop in trip won't be a problem while Windy Guest has been running well on the all-weather.
