Ciara Flynn has lost her right to claim 10lb after steering Power Drive to three recent victories here. Her mount will be 8lb higher than when completing a double a fortnight ago, however, and this looks very competitive. Hightown Heights' victory last month came in a claimer while UK recruit Shining Aitch has performed badly over hurdles since scoring at Wolverhampton in October. SUMMIT STAR was always in the front rank when scoring over track and trip in November then attempted to make all over 1m4f the following month and was only caught a furlong out. She looks capable of further progress and gets the nod as though Everyhouronthehour loves it around here and gained a surprise victory last month he's never won from a mark this high.
