Tambura loves it around here and is 5lb lower than her last victory on the track. She hasn't been running as badly as her recent form figures imply and can reach the frame. SAUCYSIOUX is on a four-timer after three very easy victories in Class 5 handicaps. She's 13lb higher but Olly Murphy puts up a claimer to ease the burden and another victory looks on the cards. Ballyheigue Bay won over track and trip in March and looked on the way back to form at Lingfield before falling at the first at Wincanton. Winning bumper Clondaw Bisto did a bit better at Exeter but connections won't be happy with a 5lb rise while though Sandhurst Lad won over 2m4f here he didn't appear to stay 3m at Wetherby. Jully Les Buxy was having her first start for Nick Mitchell when scoring over 2m4f here three weeks ago. She's up 8lb but the longer trip should suit and she looks a threat.
