Mark Johnston has won three of the last four but Donna Graciosa will need major improvement from her run at Kempton though she found 1m4f too far. Peterhouse has only raced on Polytrack and landed a Lingfield handicap for John Gosden in January. He has plenty of scope and should get into the frame. UPWARD TREND (NAP) wasn't far behind subsequent triple winner Dark Wave at Redcar in September off level weights. The winner is now rated 87 so Tim Easterby's charge is thrown in off a mark of 61 on that form so hopefully he'll be ready for this. Stay Strong was beaten a long way on his reappearance over a mile at Redcar though this trip should be more to his liking. Thankstomonty hasn't run beyond 7f so the son of Dylan Thomas should do much better over this trip and his stable has been amongst the winners.
