Tenfold provided Rob Hargreaves with a first career success in a maiden here last month. The partnership was just beaten on a quicker ground at Plumpton earlier but was only third off this mark over course and distance before that and looks vulnerable to an improver like PATIENT DREAM with the Market Rasen and Ludlow scorer also partnered by a 10lb claimer. Gilbertina is almost guaranteed to run her race again and Coolnaugh Haze won this last year while Playtogetaway and Asa can’t be ruled out in an open-looking handicap.
