Impressionable had been threatening to score here before finishing behind TRIPLE NICKLE over track and trip last time. The latter can effectively race off a lower mark today with Poppy Bridgwater allowed to use her 5lb claim on this occasion and can go in again. Levanter finished in front of Clem A when fourth over a shorter trip here. She has plenty of scope along with Al Daiha and both can figure with normal progress.
