CANNY STYLE had 15 runs before she got off the mark then completed a hat-trick of minor handicap victories. She's been raised another 7lb but, with more progress possible, looks the one to beat. Monaco Rose has never won and spent most of last season racing over further and though Ronya won three times here last season, her only career victories, the latest of them was in a seller and she hasn't won in this class. Spirit Of The Vale showed nothing on Turf but has improved on Tapeta over the winter ,winning twice at Newcastle, so should go well while the lightly-raced Calliope won a Thirsk handicap in August before disappointing at this level at Hamilton. Livella Fella won two handicaps in this class last summer and will have benefited from last month's run at Newcastle.
