Phoenix Clubs and Pivotal Prospect scored over today's trip earlier this season but fast ground could prove a problem for both. Wicked Wilma showed a bit more at Pontefract last week but this is tougher than the race Ingenti finished third in at Carlisle last time. RIO'S GIRL is not ideally drawn but she's usually fast away and, if jockey Barry McHugh can tack across early, she should take up a decent position and go very close. Most of the remainder arrive out of sorts though Whitecrest could be thereabouts again having run well in her last couple of starts.
