The handicapper has raised SEXY LOT 15lb after she completed a double at Chepstow but she remains relatively unexposed and probably has more to offer with Fergus Gillard’s claim a plus. Thibault is penalised for scoring at Plumpton while Wilde Spirit is 0-14 and saves her best for Ludlow. Karakoram is 1-29 and fell last time at Warwick but this looks a much less competitive affair and it would be no surprise to see Grace Harris’ charge in the firing-line.
