Ourmullion won well at Newton Abbot two runs ago but failed to repeat that form on a return visit and has been raised a further 2lb. OKSANA (NAP) was given a superb ride by Jonathan England to collar the odds-on Ulysees here a couple of weeks ago. She clearly likes it here and is fancied to overcome a harsh-looking 8lb rise given her style of running. Compatriot hasn’t really progressed from a win at Newton Abbot last year but Tingo In The Tale is fairly reliable in lower grade contests and has a 7lb claimer on board.
