NEW HAMPSHIRE makes most appeal on his short-head defeat at Doncaster last time. This looks less competitive and he will handle any cut in the ground. Just Lille arrives in fine form as she bids for a hat-trick but does all her winning in claimers nowadays while Dark Dune ran well either side of a below par effort over C&D last month. Bright Applause is up another 2lb for finishing second at Chester last time and Raleigh Quay scored at Hamilton recently but will need to improve again in this company. Ravi River was still beaten six lengths despite finishing runner-up on his latest start.
