LIGHTHEARTED is given the vote to land this handicap with both Global and Crystal B Good worth noting. The selection is now six pounds higher in the weights since winning at Lingfield last time out. That was only her third ever run and she is sure to improve once again. If she can reproduce her recent winning form she is sure to go close. Global has a twelve pound penalty to overcome after winning at Salisbury and Chepstow over the past week. Not many horses have been ever been able to win with a double penalty and therefore a personal best will be required. Crystal B Good could be potentially well treated in her first handicap. She ran well enough on her latest start finishing fourth of ten in a Lingfield maiden so any market support should be noted. Lighthearted comes into this race off the back a winning run and she is taken to follow up.
