Frivolous Lady has leading claims at the weights but finished last on her only previous start on this surface when behind fourth-placed Ryan The Giant, Indulgent and Freeze Style. Masqueraded won a claimer at Wolverhampton last time and is another with a shout if handling the Fibresand but POWERED is just preferred. The latter was placed in a similar contest over 7f here three week ago, when ahead of Freeze Style, and should appreciate the longer trip. Pillar and Adventure Zone are lightly-raced types worth a second glance in this grade.
