Basil Berry carries a penalty for last week's win over 7f here and Global Explorer failed to cope with an 8lb rise last time having won over 5f at Wolverhampton before that. Dandys Perier makes more appeal despite a 4lb higher mark for scoring over track and trip on his latest start while Sweetness Light finished a couple of lengths ahead of Evacusafe Lady when third over a mile here and drops back in trip. Soul Instinct showed a bit more at Southwell last time but a speculative vote goes to ALFIE LUNETE, beaten only a length when fifth over course and distance last weekend and racing off the same mark today.
