Love The Leader makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after winning over a longer trip at Market Rasen on Saturday. Lyssio has been showing more signs of life lately but this may be best left to course specialist LITTLE ROXY. She was only fourth making her reappearance in this last year and is 6lb higher but Anna Newton-Smith's mare went on to win twice over course and distance last season and could run around here blindfold. It's very difficult to make a case for many of the others.
