Faraasah will find life tougher in this having won a maiden at Lingfield last month while Delilah Park held off the attentions of Monumental Man to win over track and trip recently and that pair are closely matched. It's All A Joke has been in good form over 5f lately and has won over today's trip before but both Danecase and Anonymous John failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won their penultimate starts. HELLO GIRL has an absence to overcome but finished a respectable third despite looking to have little chance at the weights in a conditions' race at Kempton back in January and Dean Ivory's filly gets a speculative vote with headgear applied today.
