RUSSIAN BULLET won a similarly poor handicap at Wolverhampton earlier this month with Justbookies Dotnet and Castalian Spring behind. He can race off the same mark here with Sophie Doyle's claim taken into consideration and has since gone close again at Southwell. Copper Falls had Illustrious Lad behind when third over 6f here last month and Marie's Fantasy occupied the same position in a claimer over C&D on her latest start. Littlesuzie disappointed last time but can be given a chance on her earlier efforts.
