Ector was second here a year ago off a 5lb higher mark and is 10lb better off with winner Arqalina. His run at Hereford earlier this month was his best since but he is now 0-14 and his yard isn’t in the best of form and Venetia Williams’ mare will strip fitter for an outing at Uttoxeter. Hidden Cargo is 0-18 and better on good ground and that may also be the case with Lex Talionis. SUTTER’S MILL has run well around here on several occasions and can’t get much lower in the weights. He could go close at a price if in the mood.
