Eastern Racer carries a penalty for last week’s win at Doncaster but is still a leading player in this. So is Letmestopyouthere, who can race off the same mark as when successful under Sara Del Fabbro at Yarmouth last month. SPIRIT OF WEDZA hasn’t done much wrong since winning off a 3lb lower mark in this grade at Catterick in May. Paula Muir is one of the more experienced jockeys in this and Julie Camacho’s six-year-old can take advantage of this slight drop in class. Raffle King looks the pick of the remainder as Size Matters never looked like winning when among the market leader at Redcar on Wednesday.
