Several have been in good form in lower grade contests including Algheed, who is penalised for her latest success here. A rejuvenated Starshiba has been in winning form at Lingfield though Free Solo has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double. But JILLY COOPER drops down in class on the back of a close-up third at Lingfield and the return to this grade can see the Johnston filly back to winning ways.
