Leac An Scail stays well but a 10lb rise for his win in uncompetitive race in the mud at Hexham looks harsh. Captain Scarlett only won a seller at the same track last month but stablemate KILMORE WEST won a handicap on heavy ground at Ffos Las a couple of months ago and could still be well handicapped. That was only his seventh start over timber and he's started favourite in four of those so probably has more to offer. Marju King has improved in leaps and bounds since upped in trip but has also shot up the weights, while Copsehill Girl, Always Bold and Carmela Maria are all likely to need this. Kahsabelle and Executive's Hall have ability but have also become disappointing and are best watched here along with veteran Ricardo's Chance.
