Don't Fight It carries 6lb extra for winning at Catterick on her handicap debut and steps up in trip looking to confirm running with the runner-up Fortuitous Star. The latter re-opposes on more favourable terms but GLENDOWN just missed out over today’s distance when attempting to make all at Pontefract and he gets the vote to go one better in this. Stormy Pearl may prove best of the remainder.
