Engrossing was a bit of a disappointment at Newmarket last time as he failed to build on a promising debut at the same track. He could still figure in the finish here, however, as could Hallmark Star. The latter went close in a similar event at Wolverhampton last time, while It's A Privilege is also making steady improvement and was beaten only a length at Lingfield recently. Apprentice Nicole Nordblad is proving good value for her 7lb claim and her allowance could go a big way to seeing COCKNEY RHYME open her account. Heather Main's charge appears to be improving judged on her third at Newmarket last month and she gets the vote carrying a feather weight here.
