Firefinch and Tuffen Up should set a strong clip. JUSTADEXTER (9) returns and looks to have come on nicely during the break, piecing together some sharp work in readiness. Was solid to the line on debut behind a handy one back in March before being spelled. Gets in well with the claim and shapes as a leading player. FIREFINCH (7) resumes and makes her stable debut. Has found the maiden win elusive but not without trying, and trialled sharply in readiness. Can finally break through. AMBUSHED (6) is another resumer who struggled to string good runs together last time in but has the peaks to give this a shake. The inside draw is a plus. GERACE (8) was good two back at Clare when nabbed late for second and is sure to give herself every chance again on speed. IN OUR HEARTS (10) is a likely improver and worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Justadexter gets the nod.
