Nozieres was narrowly beaten over track and trip on her handicap debut and is 4lb higher but SPARK FURY can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Chelmsford last week. Archie Watson’s filly is due to be raised 3lb after this and is taken to confirm latest running with the disappointing favourite Nurse Florence. Miss Fernanda finished closer dropped into this grade last time and gets a change of headgear while Rhode Island Girl and Silk Tie may do better now handicapping for the first time.
