Taylor took a while to get off the mark but followed up her maiden Exeter victory with another win at the same track. Java Rose will strip fitter for her run at Fontwell while Poker School is starting to come down the weights again. Barton Rose and Kellys Brow aren't out of this but Highpower may need more time and Jayo Time is still 8lb higher than when successful at Market Rasen in November. FLYING LIGHT has been raised a further 2lb since his latest second over track and trip but there is no reason why he won't go close again. City Supreme is still a maiden but has shown signs of life lately and should be winning soon.
