In depth
Verdict
Having dropped to his lowest-ever mark, FAINTLY won an equally poor handicap on Tapeta at Newcastle last month and can follow up with just 3lb extra to contend with. For Shia And Lula makes a quick reappearance after a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and should make a bold bid to add to his six all-weather victories while the lightly-raced Mossy's Lodge wasn't stopping at the end of a 6f handicap here last time and has more scope than most. Garter looked progressive when scoring at Kempton and didn't look at her best on the same track a week later. Divine Call is having her 85th start but rarely races over a trip this far these days.
