Verdict

The improving THUNDER GODDESS can make light work of a penalty and follow up from last week's success here. Jam Lass hasn't had much racing this season and went with plenty of encouragement when third at Ripon last time, so is also shortlisted alongside Al Fujairah, who should be suited by this longer trip.

7	Lightly-raced sort but on the up since sent handicapping, getting off the mark despite showing signs of lingering inexperience when the wide-margin winner of an 11-runner event at this course (1¼m, good to soft) 7 days ago. Longer trip shouldn't be an issue and she's the one to beat under a penalty. 1st Pick 7 Thunder Goddess Jockey: Charlie Tucker Trainer: Andrew Balding J: Charlie Tucker T: Andrew Balding	100	-	-	-	43%	11/8

4	Surprise winner at Redcar on second handicap run last October. Has made the track only twice this season, but shaped well after a 4-month break when staying on into a close third in a 10-runner handicap at Ripon (11f, soft, 18/1) 24 days ago. 2nd Pick 4 Jam Lass Jockey: Cam Hardie Trainer: Peter Niven J: Cam Hardie T: Peter Niven	95	-	-	-	20%	4/1

3	Churchill gelding who took a small step forward when 3 lengths second of 8 in 1m maiden at Hamilton last month. Ran to a similar level when a plugging-on fifth of 9 on debut handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good) 15 days ago but he remains with potential with longer trip likely to suit. 3rd Pick 3 Al Fujairah (Ire) Jockey: Andrew Mullen Trainer: Iain Jardine J: Andrew Mullen T: Iain Jardine	87	-	-	-	13%	7/1
