Burren View Lady last won a race at Thirsk in the summer from 10lb higher than here so she's one to note in the betting. Shushu Sugartown was making her debut for Johnny Murtagh when a close fourth to the in-form Your Pal Tal a fortnight ago and has dropped to a very realistic mark. Rigid Rock had always looked better over this trip so did well to score narrowly from Acroleina over the minimum earlier this month when SHINYHAPPYJOHN was a very close third. The latter was having his first start for five months and may come out on top this time. Catalpa is held on that form but Enigma Code led for a long way over 7f last week and should have enough pace to get competitive from his very lowly mark. Moss Nation has had little experience and looked as though she needed further when staying on over 7f last week.
