Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott's mare TOWNHILL PENNY arrives on the back of a good Kilbeggan second and can go one better now off an unchanged mark with that form having been franked. Ballyglass Beauty is weighted to have a say too with Atlantian another who needs considering in a very open handicap.
