1. Improvised | Only just missed last start, finishing a nose back from the winner at Newmarket when resuming. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. Won at Ripon in only second-up attempt. Can get the job done. |
2. Mid Winster | Finished fourth last start at Beverley when resuming. Capable of racing on speed and won once this prep at Doncaster six runs back. Hard to beat. |
3. Al Simmo | First-up after 35 week break. Has genuine early speed and C Lee has had success aboard previously. Must be considered. |
4. Selby's Pride | Has won at Ripon and placed four times this campaign. Looks the leader and goes up in distance for the first time. Not the worst. |
5. Sandbeck | Successful at 5f and 6f on good to firm and good ground. A winner at 11-4 at Nottingham over 5f (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Crush And Run by a head. |
6. True Jem | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Third of 6 behind Roseberry Topping beaten 1 3/4l at 5-2jt-fav on her latest outing at Wolverhampton over 6f last month. |
