Old boy Methaaly has been raised 4lb for his latest victory, his ninth on this track, but Anna Hesketh again takes off 7lb and he's hard to leave out of calculations. Lingfield third Kodafine is only a plater while Dancing Maite is 6lb higher than when second at Doncaster and hasn't won for a while. But Red Cape, another veteran, is worth a second look while it would be no surprise to Climaxfortackle and Pearl Noir in the firing-line - the latter won over 5f here last month. OMANONE is having her first start on the all-weather and was well beaten on her only start this year. But she's potentially a bit better than this grade and could go close from stall two if breaking smartly.
