Big Bad Lol was placed for the seventh time in succession when runner-up over track and trip recently but Irish mare Turn On The Tears is preferred off her current mark. Man Of Verve, Mossy's Lodge and Ainne have all won on the all-weather over the winter while Arrowzone is another regularly in the mix off similar marks. STAND N DELIVER will need to improve on his handicap debut effort over 7f at Kempton but may well do so stepping up in trip today so the vote goes to Clive Cox’ unexposed charge.
