Three of these have won within the last few days but all carry penalties. However, ECONOMIC CRISIS only has 4lb extra after beating Ventura Flame and Major Pusey with a bit to spare here a week ago and Harrison Shaw takes off 3lb again. Redcar winner Montalvan has been racing over 6f recently but is also a course and distance winner, though has never won off a mark this high. Shesadabber is a course specialist but has done all of her winning at a lower level so Quanah, who holds Major Pusey on the form book, looks a bigger danger with Amazing Alba best at Musselburgh.
