Vixen showed some improvement on her first start for new connections here last month and Josephine Gordon is an eye-catching jockey booking. Deciding Vote won a maiden handicap at Yarmouth but a 6lb rise looks harsh given INCENTIVE has only been raised 4lb for a cosy win at Ffos Las. Well drawn for a front-runner, Liam Keniry may be able to dictate matters again on his mount. Charleston Belle is unexposed and makes most appeal of the remainder ahead of Twilight Spirit and Nuzha.
