More than half of these won their latest outings including Marilyn, who scored easily at Yarmouth but has been raised 10lb as she bids for a hat-trick. Spirit Of Sarwan had plenty of time to catch POUR LA VICTOIRE in an apprentices’ race over track and trip a week ago but failed to do so. Escaping a penalty today, the latter gets the vote to go in again. Connemera Queen and Luna Magic won lower grade contests on their latest starts while Garth Rockett scored over 7f on the all-weather and carries 6lb extra. Shamaheart went close at Nottingham recently and could go well but Lone Voice is readily dismissed.
