COTTON END has now won three of her last four outings after scoring over a longer trip here last month. She has to overcome a hike in the weights but returned an easy winner last time and there looks more to come. Darlyn is not badly treated on her win at Chepstow back in January and Fair Kate finished runner-up off a similar mark at Taunton in March. Lex Eleven should have come on for an outing at Bangor in September while Full Of Surprises makes her handicap debut on her reappearance and is worth a second glance.
