Crossgalesfamegame is back in the right grade but penalised and Precious Eleanor will probably need to drop a few more pounds in handicaps if she is to get her head in front where it matters. GALICE MACALO has been showing steady improvement and has the highest rating of these so this looks her chance to shine with Fortunes Melody proving harder to predict. Dazzling Glory is having a first run over fences but she has won a point and two hurdle races so can’t be left out of calculations.
