Consistant carries a penalty for last week's victory in an amateurs' race over track and trip while Interchoice Star arrives on the back of a double in Class 7 company and will find this tougher. Reginald Claude has strong claims upped only 2lb for scoring at Lingfield last month and the likes of Grace Hull, Belle Bayardo and Marmot Bay can be given a chance on past form, though the latter was due to run here last night. A multiple winner at Dundalk, COPPER DOCK travels over from Ireland having plummeted no less than 20lb down the weights since November. The 10-year-old might just be up to landing this off his current mark and gets the nod.
