I'm Mable, a winner at Nottingham last month, had plenty in hand at Chelmsford earlier this month and should make a bold bid to defy an 8lb rise though she's never run here. DESERT LIME is another first-timer on the track and she's still a maiden but dropped down to this trip for the first time at Lingfield and failed by just a short-head. She can go one better though it's only just over a year ago that Birkenhead won a Class 3 handicap here from a higher mark and the recent Newcastle winner is an obvious threat. We're Reunited is consistent enough at this level and should be thereabouts while The Thin Blue Line was in the lead at this trip when tackling 6f on his first visit here a couple of weeks ago. Ubahha was engaged in the 5.30 at Newcastle yesterday.
