Inuk is still 6lb higher than winning a nursery here in October but did win a seller at Lingfield on her latest start, though third Jazz Affair is now 8lb better off and Richard Hughes’ filly will need to overcome a high draw to notch her third Polytrack victory. Jan's Joy showed promise in her first season and must have some sort of chance, despite a break, but BE MINDFUL is eased in grade after contesting novice events in her first three runs. She’s a half-sister to three winners, though the drop in trip is a worry as all of her winning relatives needed further. Summer Thunder is also relatively unexposed.
