Vicky Valentine ended her long losing run at Ayr last month and is only 2lb higher, though is taking on better opposition today. Bayan Kasirga has an inexperienced apprentice on board for her reappearance but Suzi Icon's partner, Silvestre De Sousa, couldn't be in better form and he should get a tune out of Mark Johnston's unexposed filly, who is making her handicap debut. Paul Hanagan rides KELLY'S FINEST and can steer her to a first victory. Just beaten off a mark of 73 at Catterick last season, James Bethell's filly races off just 68 here having been eased a further 3lb since her latest fourth at Ripon. Dry Your Eyes would have preferred an easier surface.
