A 6lb penalty could anchor Daliance after his narrow win at Wolverhampton last week while June's Polytrack winner Madame St Clair has gone up another 3lb for her latest second at Leicester. The lightly-raced Mossbrae could find enough improvement to get involved though, Beat Route remains 5lb higher than his victory at Newbury in June and recent Chepstow third Eightfold makes more appeal. ENGLISH SUMMER is on his third trainer of the year now with David Simcock and finally showed some response to his tumble down the weights when second at Chepstow. He's 27lb lower than when scoring at Chester last year and can return to winning ways here.
