JACK ALBERT is upped 6lb for scoring at Musselburgh last time. But he's dropping down a grade for this so Dianne Sayer's charge should make another bold bid and he gets the nod to go in again. Definite Lady is another taking on lesser company having been placed at Warwick recently and that looks stronger form than Blue Cove's third at Towcester last week. Optical High could get involved stepping up in trip while Crushed Ice will have come on for his recent outing at Huntingdon.
