Professor John scored over C&D last time but will find this tougher off a 6lb higher mark. Jovial's recent placed efforts also came in lesser company, as did Addikt's victories here earlier this year. Eastern Paramour moves in the opposite direction after a couple of starts in higher grade handicaps and she may do better, but ALFOUZY make more appeal. She ran as though something was amiss on her latest start, but a repeat of her second to Making Eyes over track and trip in July would be good enough to take this contest.
