Welsh Sunrise remains out of form but all of the remainder can be given a chance of sorts. Bint Dandy should go well again despite a 5lb rise for winning over track and trip and Polly's Rose beat a subsequent winner when winning her maiden. Elusive Ellen is upped only 2lb after scoring at Kempton but PENNY GARCIA is dropped in class on the back of a success at Catterick and remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise. Tim Easterby's filly gets a tentative vote in an open contest.
