Thecornishbarron went up 6lb for landing a handicap over slightly further here last month and couldn't cope at Nottingham a week later. Kestrel Dot Com landed a Class 5 handicap at Leicester in May but ran poorly when stepped up to this class at Newmarket. Snappy Guest is very inconsistent and may find the ground on the fast side unless the rain arrives and though Truly Scrumptious arrives in good form she is invariably beaten when stepped out of Class 5 company. CAROLINAE is the least exposed of these and though her recent victory was gained on Polytrack she had run well at Newbury previously and looks capable of better so gets the nod.
