Charleston Belle won over 6f here last week and carries 6lb extra along with DE LITTLE ENGINE, who scored over today’s trip at the same meeting. But the latter is likely to face a bigger hike in the weights when the handicapper has his say having scored by five lengths last time and he can strike again while the iron is hot. Herm ran below par here last week and remains 4lb higher than an earlier course and distance success while the remainder are all struggling for form though Masquerade Bling has a shout off his current mark and Tadaany has tumbled down the weights this year.
