PURE SURF has been raised 10lb for winning easily here last month. But the third has gone in since and with a tongue-tie potentially bringing further improvement, Iain Jardine’s mare looks worth sticking with. Latino Fling may finish closer to the selection on today’s better terms but Topkapi Star looks a bigger threat on a recent second at Ayr. Lincoln Lyn and Alright Marlene could be in the mix and Desaray Girl drops in class and is preferred to Countister.
