ALIZEE DE JANEIRO may have enough improvement in her to defy a 7lb rise. She was beaten only a head over track and trip in between a couple of 2m victories here and has the beating of both Maxie T and Bop Along. Renoyr has also been raised 7lb for scoring at Market Rasen while both Pistole and Hrecomesnelson were placed at the same meeting at Carlisle on their latest respective starts and should go well. Lyric Street is not badly weighted but remains out of sorts.
