Topweight Kissing Time shoulders a 6lb penalty for a narrow success in a Pontefract handicap last week and may have too much to do under the burden of 10st 2lb. Erracht, another last time out winner, has to overcome a harsh 8lb rise in the handicap for her success at Leicester, so it may pay to look elsewhere for the winner. Mary Jane is capable of taking a hand off her current mark but she is not particularly well berthed in stall three, a comment that also applies to Bells Beach. Safranine is better drawn in stall 15 but would prefer a softer surface so the TEAMtalk vote goes to Lydia's Look. Tim Etherington's mare has a good record here, has slipped to an attractive mark and is well drawn.
