Thirsk fourth Irv will need to settle better to get home over this extra furlong but Tie A Yellowribbon found 6f too short last time at Wolverhampton. MECCA’S GIFT (NAP) is a half-sister to two winners over this trip and showed the benefit of a step up in distance last time here. Her first two runs also hinted at ability and Michael Dods’ filly can get off the mark this afternoon. Jackamundo could also be interesting making his handicap debut and he’s preferred to Reddiac and Schnapps of the remainder.
