Acrux won a claiming race at Kempton recently but will find this tougher with third-placed Big Brave Bob re-opposing on better terms. A Sure Welcome is not badly weighted on earlier winning form here while Big Time Maybe and Porchy Party have both tumbled down the handicap with the former preferred. But SUPER FLORENCE has held her form well since scoring at Catterick in July and is taken to return to winning ways off her current mark with the presence of Luke Morris in the saddle another positive.
