Shore Shanty is having only her second run in a handicap but probably needs to drop a few pounds. Rock On Rita has won at Ffos Las and Ludlow this year but she’s gone up another 8lb and doesn’t look an easy ride. DO YOU THINK twice came up against the smart Love Envoi at the start of her hurdling career. She may have been given too much to do in a maiden at Newton Abbot last time and should go close here if handling the quicker surface. Infiniti popped up again at Market Rasen two weeks ago and is only 4lb higher so can’t be ignored.
