MYRISTICA (NAP) completed a hat-trick in the summer and returned from a break with a good run at Warwick so can give the weight away. The three-year-old Hourless won at Hexham in June and though beaten next time was conceding plenty of weight to the winner. Jack Sprat ran easily his best race to date when last seen at Wincanton in April but Lipa K, who completed a double when scoring at Ludlow in May, ran a shocker when favourite at Folkestone a month later. Bizzy Moon won over two miles at Market Rasen in May and didn't stay 2m5f when beaten a long way at Ludlow.
