Verdict
TYPEWRITTEN gained her second course and distance success last month when coming home clear and though 7lb higher can go in again. Arcadian Friend landed a Lingfield handicap over this trip before finding 1m6f just beyond him at Salisbury where he led to 1f out. He's only had five starts, as has Glen Cove, who battled to a short-head victory over the trip at Wolverhampton. Graph has yet to show in three maidens on Turf and makes her handicap debut while Smokey Malone has never won on this surface.
