Race preview
CALLIOPE is the only C&D winner in this field after scoring in September 2020 off a mark of 95, and although racing off 2lb higher here, jockey Alan Doyle claims 7lb, suggesting she could be effectively well weighted. Off The Hook was caught over further at Newcastle last time when second and may do better dropped back two furlongs here for a stable in good heart, while Blue Hawaii ran on well when runner-up over two miles at Southwell and she is well worth a try at this extended distance.
