TROOPER TRIPPETT (5) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his enormous 25.94 win at Star Pelaw over 435m. Hot win two back and looks the one to beat here. WESTWOOD BETTY (1) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and nine placings from 21 starts. Hit the frame latest (29.76) when second at Central Park in an A1. Among the main chances. THURLESBEG LEXY (4) missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 3 lengths (29.66) last time at Sheffield. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. JACKTAVERN BEAUT (2) warrants respect although new to this track.
