IP UP was beaten less than a length carrying 7lb extra at Musselburgh for an earlier success at Fakenham. This extra distance is not a problem and she gets another chance. Atlantic Dancer faded badly on her reappearance having won over track and trip back in April while Nell's Bells ended last season with a victory at Newcastle. Line In The Sand showed a big improvement on her handicap debut while Similar Story goes handicapping for the first time and a tongue-tie is reapplied to Parvos.
