AFFLUENCE has thrived on fast going, winning handicaps at this level at Yarmouth and Leicester. A 4lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick and he holds Becky Sharp on the Leicester victory. Harmonise will probably do better when returning to hurdles while the lightly-raced Eagle Queen, who makes her handicap debut, hasn't shown enough to be considered. Cogital is still a maiden after 14 starts but has been racing in slightly better company so could provide the main threat.
