Lucky Mark was raised only 3lb for winning over track and trip in November but that proved beyond him back at this track last time. Satellite Express won a maiden over course and distance earlier but finished last back here on Friday, when Amenable finished runner-up, while Diamond Vine made the frame at Wolverhampton last week but earlier efforts on this surface leave a bit to be desired. SYNONYM was sent off favourite over 6f here last time but never recovered from a slow start. She gets a token vote to make amends in this poor contest if quickly away.
