MORNING WITH IVAN (NAP) gets soft ground for the first time since winning at Musselburgh in February. He's also eased in class today and that may enable him to thwart easy Sedgefield winner Nautical Twilight, who is 6lb higher here. Bobs Lady Tamure has had numerous opportunities while this looks an inadequate test for Spirit Oscar and Pixie Cut is going backwards but Sultana Belle might appreciate this easier grade and shouldn't be left out of calculations.
