Low grade fare but COMPTON ABBEY remains unexposed having won at Kempton on her handicap debut and there should be more to come. Catheadans Fury also has scope for further improvement having finished fifth at Wolverhampton while the Irish-trained filly Time Stands Still drops back down in distance on the back of a second over 7f at Dundalk. Mercers has struggled since landing a double back in January while Tawaafoq slips further down the weights and Canadian Royal is usually thereabouts without winning.
