Landenstown Pearl beat Brians Well with Absolute Shambles further behind over course and distance last month. But she's been raised 10lb and will need to improve again. Thornton Alice was having her first start since October when fourth at Huntingdon and has every chance on the best of last year's form, but KINGSFOLD FLARE is just preferred. The latter has slipped down the weights and showed signs of a resurgence when second at this track three weeks ago. Aaly is another looking to exploit a drop in the handicap but he hasn't raced since June and Torran Sound makes more appeal off his current mark.
