Most of these can be given a chance of sorts in a tight handicap and Ripon winner Secret Lightning is not guaranteed to confirm running with Marsh Pride, Lil Sophella and Atlantic Affair. Sarah Joyce scored over a longer trip here in July and is 5lb higher while Sallabeh is upped 6lb for her recent win at Haydock. But PUSHINGMYPATIENCE is the least exposed and after going close on her handicap debut at Thirsk just four days ago, Karl Burke's filly gets a tentative vote to go one better in this.
