It was soft ground when Arctic Fox won this last year while both Spit Spot and Ready To Shine have been beaten since winning their penultimate starts. Bollin Margaret remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Thirsk earlier but Typical Woman is creeping closer as she slips down the weights. PAGE THREE failed to figure on her handicap debut but that was still an improvement on her earlier reappearance and she gets a speculative vote with Jim Crowley’s presence taking the eye.
