Course winner Rowlestone Lass needs further nowadays but Shining Glitter won her maiden over today's trip and drops back down in class for this. The consistent Precision Five should be in the mix once again but is 7lb higher than when beating ORATORIO's JOY at Chelmsford in February and the latter may well take advantage on today's revised terms. Approaching Star has not raced since well beaten on her handicap bow at Lingfield nearly a year ago.
