Woodside Wonder drops down in class bidding for a hat-trick but is burdened with a double penalty. London Rock is raised 5lb after scoring over 6f at Chelmsford but DEIRA SURPRISE is fancied to show further progress after placing at Kempton on her handicap debut and Hugo Palmer's filly gets the vote. Fortissimo and Albert Finney also have plenty of scope now handicapping for the first time while Teresita Alvarez, Coolagh Magic and Material Girl were all placed over today's trip on their respective latest starts.
