Madam Lilibet was in fine form at this time a year ago and won this on heavy going from a 2lb higher mark. With conditions in her favour she can get into the action again. After scoring here on fast going, Hell Hath No Fury finished tailed off on a return visit on soft ground. Beat The Shower hadn't won for three years before scoring here in August but ran poorly at Newcastle subsequently and it's EMBSAY CRAG (NAP) who looks the one to be on. He loves this track, goes well on soft ground and hasn't has as much racing this year as some of his rivals. The lightly-raced Dan Emmett won an amateurs' race by 12 lengths at Thirsk and went up 10lb but still managed a good performance at Newcastle and looks a big threat.
