Verdict
Flag Of Glory won this off a higher mark last year but was still well beaten when second at Nottingham last time. HIGHLIFE DANCER won at the latter track under Katy Lyons on his latest start and can go close again despite carrying a penalty given he scored off a higher mark last year. Molly King was on board Shirataki when the latter won at Windsor last month and Serena Brotherton partners recent Salisbury winner Edge. Whip Up A Frenzy continues to slide down the weights but came up short once again at Brighton last time.
