A few of these have been beaten off higher marks since winning earlier in the year. That includes Kitten's Red and Thecornishcowboy while Retro Valley landed a double last month but remains 10lb higher than his latest success when scoring at Redcar. It remains to be seen if the recent winners Duke Street and OFFSHORE fare any better but the latter can race off a lower mark back on this surface despite scoring on the all-weather last time and James Tate's charge gets the nod.
