LATINO FLING got back to winning ways at Aintree last month and may well be good enough to defy a 4lb rise here. Nextdoortoalice has had a break but is back over her best trip and Warwick third Walk Of No Shame is a consistent sort. Pure Theatre made a winning start in handicaps at Fontwell but she steps up a grade for this, though her yard is in red-hot form.
