Simply Me notched up a hat-trick of course wins earlier this year but failed to cope under a penalty when only third here last time. Auntie Barber won over a longer trip at the track last week and is raised 5lb but Bint Dandy could go well at the other end of the handicap dropping down a grade. HELLS BABE (NAP) returned to action with a third to Shypen over track and trip a week ago having joined Mike Appleby. She has more scope than most of these and is taken to come out best.
