Formscan - STITCHING WHEEL appreciated some respite from the assessor when scoring with something in hand here last month. A 4lb rise for the four-year-old looks far from insurmountable and she's fancied to follow up, at the main expense of Lillistar. Micky Hammond's mare arrives on the back of a third at Catterick and is slightly more convincing than Billy Bathgate, who finished sixth on his reappearance at Newcastle.
