PIXIEPOT probably deserves a change of luck and the handicapper has only raised her a pound since her latest course and distance second. She can get the better of Southwell runner-up Money Maid and Miss Joeking, who couldn't follow up her Hexham win over this trip at Uttoxeter. Midtech Star and Lilywhite Gesture could improve now going handicapping but it's difficult to make a case for many of the others.
