A competitive heat to finish the evening with no less than eight course and distance winners in the line up. Rafters Music looks to have plenty on from his wide draw, while If By Chance may need this after a lay-off, but with no doubts about the well-being of Noble Lady, she is the choice in an open contest. Blinkered for the first time at Southwell in the week brought about plenty of improvement from her and although she has to shoulder a 7lbs penalty here, she won with plenty in hand and looks set to follow up. Super Canyon, 7lbs higher than when beating Parker here last month, will need to turn in a personal best off this career high mark. However, he is two from two here and is worthy of plenty of respect. Old favourite Rafters Music seems to reserve his best for the sand nowadays, but he has a wide draw to overcome and may have to wait for another day, while Czar Wars was handed a comprehensive beating by the selection at Southwell and is another who has plenty on from his draw. Teyaar will be much sharper for his effort at Southwell earlier in the week and will appreciate the return to this trip, but Noble Lady looks a filly on the upgrade and is taken to show her older rivals a clean pair of heels.
