PERSONA GRATA followed a winning debut here with victory in an apprentices' race over track and trip last time. Ed Walker's filly escapes a penalty as a consequence and has plenty of scope for further improvement. Lean On Pete finished behind the selection on his latest start but Gabrial The Terror has gone close at Brighton the last twice and can figure. Coillte Cailin won here earlier and is only 3lb higher but both of Roger Thorpe's wins have come on the Fibresand at Southwell.
