Castlerea Tess is upped only 3lb after winning over track and trip while Quiet Warrior drops back in distance having finished second over 7f at Brighton. The Big Short went close at Kempton in October and should be sharper for a recent return while Maggi May found only one too good over the minimum trip here last week. But STRICTLY CARTER is only 2lb higher than his course and distance success in February and he gets the nod on the back of a placed effort at Yarmouth.
