Seven of these are course and distance winners including Rose Marmara, who also scored over 7f here last time and is capable of another big run under Connor Murtagh. Indian Pursuit is a real specialist around here and had dropped to a very fair mark when scoring here last month. He's up 3lb but has won from higher marks in the past and will make a bold bid to go in again. MESHARDAL (NAP) hasn't won since scoring over the track and trip last July but has dropped 8lb as a consequence and hasn't been performing badly in better company so can regain the winning thread. Super Florence is 1-17 and though that victory was here she's now a massive 15lb higher. Point Of Woods isn't the most consistent but would have a definite chance on last month's victory over the minimum at Doncaster.
