Bibbidibobbidiboo found a 7lb rise for her Musselburgh victory just too much at Pontefract and this may be as high as she'll go. Munthany lost his maiden tag in good style at Wetherby but this is a slightly higher grade race and he's up 4lb. Hitman has been running well enough without quite getting there and looks booked for a place though Jessinamillion, who was just behind him here last time, has a chance of turning the tables. Smugglers Creek has disappointed since winning at Musselburgh while RASTACAP hasn't made the expected progress after her victory at Newcastle in September but the latter has had excuses and a falling mark can see her back in the winner's enclosure.
