Loch Dhu is now 17lb higher than when successful in this last year having been raised a further 5lb for a close-up second at Ayr last month. She's clearly back in form, however, and Dean Pratt takes off 5lb so should be in the firing-line again but ANEYEFORANEYE gave her 25lb and a beating at Hexham in April last year and the recent Ayr second is 16lb better off now - she gets the vote. Ballyquin Queen has ability but has finished tailed off in her last two starts. She was, however, a long way ahead of Young Mags at Newbury in November. Western Kate and the penalised Royal Curtsy may be best of the rest.
