Hardy Blue goes in search of a four-timer but her hat-trick came over the minimum trip and she's been upped 10lb in the weights. Mandy Lexi, Blazing Knight, We Are City and Chloe's Dream have all fallen prey to Jamie Osborne's filly of late, though the latter has since won a seller, and preference is for SOMETHINGBOUTMARY. She made all at Lingfield before fading in the closing stages over C&D last time but this looks slightly easier. Catterick winner Flighty Clarets can be forgiven a below-par effort on soft ground last time and Indian Affair may figure off his current mark.
