Isntshesomething returned to action with a course and distance success but that was her first win in 21 attempts. She’s worth opposing off a 6lb higher mark with SPACE WAR (NAP). The latter won at Lingfield in February and was fourth in a higher grade contest here a fortnight ago. Helfire has also won in better company than this but is having her first start since September while Noble Act won twice over shorter trips on the Turf last year. The Happy Hammer is back on a winning mark and won here at this time last year under regular partner Lulu Stanford.
