BLACK LOTUS (NAP) beat an improver over this trip at Haydock last month. She has been raised 6lb but her stable won this last year and course winner Rhigolter Rose needs forgiving a poor run at Redcar last time and is upped in distance. Sailing Home was second over the trip at Wetherby in April but is another needing to bounce back from a below-par effort while Teaser finished last on his Turf debut and has changed yards since.
