Billy Blade easily won a seller on soft ground at Newton Abbot last week and, though 12lb out of the handicap here, probably has scope for further improvement. Qalinas is coming down the weights and it will be a surprise if David Pipe can't find a race for him before the end of the summer but Cool Cascade isn't improving and Indefinite Hope is regularly beaten in sellers. KINGSFOLD FLARE runs off the same mark as when runner-up in a similar contest over C&D a week ago and is fancied to go one better today for her in-form yard.
