CAILIN SAOIRSE has to defy a 7lb rise in the weights if she’s to land a hat-trick of course and distance wins but may well do so given the ease of her latest success. She had River Chorus back in third and the latter has subsequently boosted the form by winning back here. Swiss Rowe is another recent winner over track and trip though was partnered by a 7lb claimer on that occasion and is 3lb higher today while Forbearing posted a better effort at Southwell recently and can figure again.
