Albert D'olivate likes the mud and made a promising reappearance off his new mark when third at Exeter. He looks sure to be thereabouts while Special Wells, a regular here, should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of runs, though has found 3m too far in the past. Lilly Of The Moor was second over 3m2f at Newton Abbot in the spring, however, and made a winning reappearance at Warwick on only her third start for Ben Case. BROWNVILLE is still 5lb higher than when successful over track and trip in April but Zac Baker, who steered him into a creditable fourth at Cheltenham in October, claims 7lb and the top weight can pick up the winning thread again after a short break.
