Erastus found one too good yet again when finishing in front of Working Together at Wolverhampton last time and is 5lb higher than when runner-up here back in April. Ghost won on the all-weather earlier and was second at Redcar recently off today’s mark. She’s just preferred to Daffy Jane, placed on her last couple of outings, but a chance is taken on DOLLAR VALUE. The latter may not have threatened in novice races so far but improvement is expected now handicapping and this isn’t the strongest of sprints.
