In depth
Verdict
Alizee De Janeiro won on fast ground at Musselburgh recently and is upped 5lb while Bollin Julie has been raised the same amount after ending a long losing run with a victory at Sedgefield last month. Knocklayde Sno Cat remains a maiden after 17 outings over timber and Spring Over was tailed off in second over 2m here on her latest start. The latter’s stablemate, LOCHNELL, was well beaten on her recent chasing bow but the course regular has recorded all three wins so far over these hurdles and she gets the nod to go in again.
