Nibras Wish gave notice of an imminent victory when a close fourth here last month and was 4lb lower when scoring on a return visit earlier this month. Both those runs were over 1m4f so this is a big drop in trip. HOT TEAM has only had two runs on the all-weather and was beaten a long way on his only start here a year ago. However, he's been going well in better class at Chester and has dropped to a winnable mark. Flying Dragon is inconsistent but was beaten a neck on his only start on this track in March while Antico Lady's victory on the track came in Class 6 company and she's looking high enough in the weights.
