Most of these have failed to cope with a rise in the weights for earlier wins. Teajaybe was upped 9lb for his win over 2m here and Dynastic still carries a penalty for her recent victory over the same trip. Divea remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton and Jacobs Son won over 1m3f here off a lower mark last month. Marina Ballerina is yet another in the handicapper's grip while Mungo Park signed off last season with a double in plating races but will find this tougher. ROYAL MARKSELL has yet to win but was second off today's mark at the track in January and today could be the day he finally opens his account.
