It was heavy ground when GOING FRENCH won his maiden over C&D last month and he can effectively race off a lower mark today with a 7lb claimer on board. He's just preferred to Bermondsey Bob who is back on a winning mark and ran well here last week but the consistent Lady Mango is up another 6lb for her latest success over track and trip. Links Drive Lady returns to the Turf still searching for her first victory but Huzzah went close to ending his four year drought when a close-up third at Lingfield last time. Superior Edge looks best of the rest back over 6f.
