Kool Moe Dee won a Class 5 sprint over the minimum trip at Bath a fortnight ago and will find this tougher. Selected never looked like catching the winner when runner-up over 5f here last time but can figure again while Baileys Breathless is another upped in class after winning a nursery at Wolverhampton. Harmony Lil beat Sir Benedict by a short-head in novice company over track and trip and both go handicapping for the first time along with Rhoda's Choice and PACOPASH. The latter belied the odds when running well in a decent conditions race here last month and the winner has subsequently won a handicap.
