Several of these are front-runners and may cut each others throats but Shirley Teasdale has more experience than most of her rivals and can steer DOLLY PARTON to another success. Dandy Nicholls' filly landed a similar race at Thirsk last month where she battled on really well and can see of the attentions of Arrow Storm, who appreciated returning to Polytrack when scoring over 7f at Lingfield. Boy The Bell looks the main threat as Brian Ellison's charge is dropping into this lowly grade for the first time and he will be staying on at the finish. Chillie Peppar's best effort came when dropped into this grade though he could probably do with another furlong.
