PELTWELL (NAP) went up 7lb for a short-head victory at Wincanton, a massive improvement on his previous four starts, but then cantered in when tackling a conditionals' race at Wetherby last week. He receives no penalty here and a hat-trick beckons. Nye Bevan is still a maiden but has been narrowly beaten twice in his last three starts though was getting 17lb from the winner at Plumpton last time. Dual Flat winner Highland Sky has been disappointing over timber but makes his handicap debut on a lowly mark while Summer Lightening has come nowhere near recapturing the form that saw her complete a Catterick double last January.
