Several of these were placed on their latest starts including Lydiate Lady, who missed out on a four-timer when second at Nottingham and is upped a further 3lb. Cruise Tothelimit finished behind the latter earlier and never threatened when runner-up at Windsor last time but FAST ACT (NAP) was caught close home attempting to make all over track and trip a week ago. He gets the nod to go one better on that form with Annie Salts preferred of the remainder on her earlier success over the minimum trip at Yarmouth.
