Several have a hike in the weights to contend with including last year’s winner Lord Riddiford, who is 9lb higher this time. One Night Stand beat Corinthia Knight at Lingfield last month but is now 11lb higher while Existent has been raised the same amount after scoring easily at Chelmsford and is upped in class along with Night On Earth. CAROLINE DALE (NAP) beat No Speed Limit in this grade at Southwell on her first outing after a wind operation and, with the promise of more to come, Dave Loughnane’s filly is taken to defy a 4lb rise.
