Cherry Cola has taken a major step forward upped in trip this year. She’s on a hat-trick after victories here and at Yarmouth and should be thereabouts again. Miss M has also won over track and trip and got back to winning ways at Bath while there is likely to be improvement forthcoming from Scenesetter as she makes her handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces. LIGHTENING DANCE has a welter burden but has a solid record in this grade and has placed in both previous starts here – she’s only a pound higher than when successful at Salisbury last summer.
