DON'T BE bounced back to form at Wolverhampton last time and her trainer is well-versed in sending out winners under a penalty so this looks another. Pour La Victoire failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won over track and trip before that and dual course and distance winner Presumido makes more appeal off his current mark. Al's Memory has also slipped down the handicap and could figure while The Happy Hammer pops-up at this level from time to time.
