COURIER is getting closer having placed over 7f here on her last two starts. She was caught inside the final furlong last time and this shorter trip should suit. Hilary J has been placed in all three outings but was almost tailed off stepped up to a mile at Carlisle last time and Arize is preferred on her earlier length defeat over track and trip. Bahamian Bird should be sharper for a recent reappearance at Catterick and makes more appeal than Ponty Royale, an earlier winner at Carlisle but well beaten since.
