Viola Park has been winning at Wolverhampton and bids for a hat-trick raised only 3lb. But THE LACEMAKER went close over track and trip last time and looks set to take advantage of a slide down the weights having won off an 8lb higher mark here last year. Miss Gargar was placed over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton recently while My Town Chicago and Perfect Symphony filled the places over course and distance on their penultimate starts when ahead of Wild Dancer. Phoenix Star and Nautical Haven have tumbled down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
