Decent form is thin on the ground in the first division of this divided handicap. Though beaten in a seller last time at Thirsk, ETTIE HART did win over 7f at Brighton in June under Killian Hennessy and is probably worth another try over the extra furlong. Altaira stays further and arrives off the back of a third at Brighton while Clevedon Court showed promise on the all-weather over the winter, though hasn't raced since February.
