The step up in trip here last time suited MAYASA (NAP) and James Tate's filly can progress again to land this off a 5lb higher mark. Blenheim Warrior was only beaten a head over 1m6f at Ffos Las after winning at Salisbury and arrives in good form but the handicapper may have caught up with Van Huysen who, along with Charlie Bear, will also have his stamina to prove. The eight-year-old Patriotic has only raced over this trip once before, as has Salmon Sushi, but All My Love will definitely stay and has claims on her form in the spring.
