NEW LEYF was winning for the first time since 2011 when scoring over track and trip last week. But he beat Classic Pursuit and previous winner Invigilator easily enough and an apprentice's allowance negates a 6lb penalty. Sakhee's Rose also ended a long losing run last time with a win over 7f at Wolverhampton while Mops Angel won at the same track last month and drops down a grade for this. Moiety is one of the least exposed and made the frame off today's mark over course and distance on her latest start while Humour also has place claims.
