Marginal preference in a tight-knit handicap is for VIXEY who has taken a 5 lb rise for her recent Southwell victory but still looks weighted to go close. Prefer The Sister and Too Much can both have a say too.

Course winner. Raced too freely when a creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 7/1) 13 days ago. One to consider if her stamina holds out over this longer trip.

Three wins from 10 runs last year. Below-par sixth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at this course (6f). Off 159 days. Can make her presence felt if shrugging off latest effort.
