WINNING DRAW won her maiden over C&D back in August. She faced a tough task stepping up to 6f for her handicap bow on last month's return to action and this looks more her level. Paul Midgley's filly is taken to return to winning ways here. Bobbyow makes his all-weather debut after five starts in maidens on the turf. Last November's close-up fourth over this trip at Nottingham was his best effort so far and he is preferred to stablemate Quadra Hop, who was well beaten at Wolverhampton last time. Gunalt Joy makes most appeal of the remainder.
