Verdict

TOUFAN EXPRESS ploughed through the mud to score over the C&D on Wednesday and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent a follow-up as he's still reasonably treated. Ted Dolly, who finished around four lengths behind, looks held but Beauty Express ran well enough here on Tuesday to suggest she'll be in the firing-line, especially as the extra furlong will help. Ashton Rose looks well enough handicapped but produced a disappointing run when fancied at Roscommon last week and may not be suited by the testing ground.
