Another low-grade handicap to close the day featuring Sky Diamond, SO IS SHE and Market Puzzle who finished 1-2-3 over C&D late last month. So Is She is 3lb better off here with the winner and that might just enable the Bailey charge to reverse placings, especially if they do not allow the winner that day so much leeway this time round. Ted Durcan takes over on Market Puzzle but the gelding does have something to find on the book with the aforementioned pair on these terms. However, he's a consistent sort in low-grade handicaps and rates a solid each-way option. Coupland Lady was behind the trio in that Yarmouth race but is still worth a spot on the shortlist.
