Rosealee is upped only 2lb after winning at Lingfield but all three wins to date have been on the all-weather. Orient Class has been back on a winning mark for some time now but found one too good again at Ripon while Musharrif has yet to win a handicap. Bahango remains out of form but Hit The Lights won twice at Catterick earlier this year and could figure if forgiven a below-par effort last time. TONI’S A STAR drops back down a grade after placing over track and trip on her latest start and she gets the nod to repeat last year’s win in this despite racing off a 3lb higher mark this time round.
