WILLOWS HOPE (1) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (28.57), beaten 5 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has winning claims on her best figures. FRUITY COCKTAIL (6) was narrowly beaten last time, jumping from this same trap when a 0.8 lengths second in an A5 over 450m at this track. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. NICOLES NOIR (2) scored (28.22) last time out at this track in an A6 and will break from trap 2 for the first time. Significant danger. COWARDLY JOHN (5) was in the money two back in a D2 at Towcester then jumped from trap five last time and finished second (16.09) at Towcester.
