THE WIFES PET found the company too hot at Uttoxeter last time but she's travelled strong throughout when scoring at Huntingdon previously and it could be she needs a sharp track to show her best. Lawney Hill's mare can bounce back here with both Total Submission and Traffic Chaos returning from a lay-off. Key Cutter and Ratify have also had a break, while Princely Hero is starting to look exposed now. Ballagio was well beaten off this mark at Fontwell last time but that 3m3f trip may have been too far and he should get closer today.
