PALLAS LORD (5) is a former course and distance winner currently enjoying a fine lay-off of form. Delivered a pair of victories at Newcastle early last month followed by two narrow defeats at the same venue. Likely there at the finish. The unexposed TORALOU (1) rates an obvious danger making her handicap debut. STRATOCRACY (2) just did enough taking on a similar contest at Southwell when last in action and enters calculations returning from a five-month hiatus. AHAMOMENT (10) has four wins tackling the trip and cannot be ruled out.
