A 6lb penalty will make life tougher for PERFECT WORDS as he bids for a hat-trick. But he already has a verdict over Ingenti and Lord Buffhead and the latter had beaten Rock Canyon, Wicked Wilma and Chloe's Dream earlier. Dartrix finished ahead of Live Dangerously at Newcastle but had little excuse for a poor effort when favourite at the same track last time. But Sewn Up has slipped down the weights and a close-up fifth on his latest start suggests he can get involved.
