EFFUSIVE was winning for the first time since her debut in 2014 when successful over course and distance last week. She'd also dropped to a lenient mark and a has 6lb penalty to contend with today but her yard has struck form and a follow-up appears on the cards if Joe Fanning can get her across to the rails from a wide draw. Dilgura may be the danger as she was placed in a higher grade at Kempton last time and should be edging closer to full fitness after a break. By Rights struggles to get her head in front while Loumarin is better over 5f. Lady Gemini may be best of the rest.
