CRYSTAL CASQUE got off the mark here just nine days ago and may follow up despite the rise in grade. Nicola Currie's claim offsets nearly all of the 4lb rise incurred for that victory and she receives considerable poundage all round and looks on the upgrade. Quick Breath has enjoyed a good season and will appreciate the drop in grade and can't be discounted, despite top weight, but Arrogant is hard to enthuse over having not beaten a rival on his last three starts. Jackpot Royale got off the mark at Thirsk last time. He's up 6lb for that but should still be a leading player while course and distance winner Glamorous Dream has already paid his way this term but may find life a little harder off his current mark.
