Ipcress File finished last of five here recently and steps up in trip while Political Slot was well beaten on the Fibresand before going close at Chelmsford when finishing in front of Be Mindful. PLANSINA and Odds On Oli may well end up fighting this one out as they did at Newcastle last time. The former came out best on that occasion when swooping late to win by a neck and there should be more to come from her over today’s trip. The rest are harder to fancy unless Foxy Lady improves for the extra distance.
