Voice From Above is two from two around here but both victories came over further off lower marks. This may also be on the short side for Wild Desert, but he'll enjoy conditions if the rain stays away. All of Mystic Princess' form on the Flat has been over shorter, though she did win over hurdles in the spring. IN VINO VERITAS has his first run since June but has dropped in the weights again since his third at Ripon and is probably the one to beat on that form. Amazing Blue Sky is racing from out of the handicap but is 4lb lower than when successful at Thirsk in June of last year and won at Southwell in February.
