Little Jimmy won twice at Lingfield last month but a 7lb penalty could scupper his hat-trick bid here as SAWPIT SUPREME has been running well lately. She lost nothing in defeat against Arthur's Pass at Leicester before winning at Market Rasen and a 3lb rise isn't excessive. Next To Nowhere has a lot to prove on this season's efforts and Sumdancer appears to have lost his edge and was also entered at Fontwell yesterday.
