Race preview
ASCENDING LARK is unbeaten in four starts since joining Harry Derham and the seven-year-old has been found another excellent opportunity to continue her winning run. Her victories this season at Newcastle and Exeter have been in handicap company and another 4lb rise doesn't appear to be insurmountable. Plantaroma was unlucky at Huntingdon on her first run after a wind operation and looks more of a threat than Not Now Nathaniel.
