Trainer Bryn Palling has BIDABLE in super form at present, and she is taken to defy a 6lb rise and follow-up a recent course win, while Royal Manor and Why Nee Amy can give her a bit to do. The last-named has been raised 1lb for winning a Kempton claimer over 10f last time, but this drop in trip won't be an issue and she has decent form here, so could go very well. Royal Manor was not far away over a similar trip at Sunbury herself last month and from the same mark she could also show up well, though two out of her three previous efforts here were lack lustre. Alfredtheordinary looks a bit high in the weights for now, and a better proposition looks to be Just Jimmy, who is only 2lbs higher than when winning over course and distance last month and should go well now back in a handicap. If You Knew Suzy is inconsistent and preference is for Bidable. She has made the frame twice and then won once on her last three starts here over this precise trip. A 6lb rise is plenty, but she was in control from a long way out last time and if able to reproduce that effort then she will take plenty of beating tonight.
