MEANDMYSHADOW has been raised 6lb for last month's victory at Carlisle but won by four lengths on that occasion and can go in again. New Leyf is harder to fancy upped 4lb after scoring by only a short-head at Kempton while Penny Dreadful failed to cope off a higher mark at Chelmsford last time having won at the same track before that. Royal Connoisseur was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth at Ripon and and the handicapper has given him a chance dropping him 4lb.
