Fair Minded won this under Mark Walsh a year ago from 2lb lower but J P's retained rider is on board FUTURE ROMANCE (NAP) here which is hardly surprising given his mount has won both starts on the Flat this summer. She's only rated 86 for this low-grade handicap and is likely to start a short price. Impressive Duke was narrowly beaten by recent winner Marshalled at Clonmel back in December 2019 but hasn't shown much since returning to action. Johanna Yeats has produced easily her best form on testing ground which she's likely to have here but Kate Ill Know hasn't made the expected progress from her debut success at Clonmel.
