CRIBBS CAUSEWAY has taken a hefty rise in the handicap following her victory at Lingfield but, given the manner of that success, she can defy her new mark in a weak-looking contest. Prize Diva looks like the main danger following her Nottingham win and she is likely to be suited by this step up in trip. Pernickety looks to be in the grip of the handicapper at the moment and is not sure to appreciate the extra quarter-mile while Ominotago has been the beaten favourite on both of her last two outings and has questions to answer.
