Sendinpost is lightly-raced for her age and could appreciate the drop in distance having finished third over 3m1f at Taunton on her latest outing. But this looks a good opportunity for WOODLARK ISLAND to recapture the winning thread as he's been tackling stronger opposition and does boast a C&D win whereas most of his rivals struggle to get their head in front. She's On The Case is woefully out of form while Spaceman's latest second came in a Folkestone seller but Fran's Folly ran her best race so far at Southwell eight days ago and competes off the same mark here.
