ABI SCARLET has been left on the same mark after landing a couple of lowly plating races. Scott Dixon's mare looks to have every chance of recording her tenth course victory back in a handicap. Barbs Princess makes her debut at the track having won at Wolverhampton recently and may prove the main danger if taking to the surface given Musical Molly remains 9lb higher than her win over course and distance. Six Wives has done all her winning so far over 5f and will do well to get the better of her stablemate.
