Eastern Charm started the season on a 16lb lower mark having won six times. She probably wasn't at her best at Sandown and it would be no surprise to see her bounce back. Create won a Southwell maiden and was unlucky in-running over 7f on the same track next time while In These Shoes is back on the same mark as when scoring at Beverley earlier this season. Metahorse has been running well over slightly shorter but Indiana B is 7lb higher than when last successful. Ripon winner TOBETSO needed a stiffer test than he got at Ayr last time and Declan Carroll's charge is taken to get back to winning ways.
