In winning its only trial well back it October, it showed it owned good ability and has been well backed on both race day runs. Craig Grylls sticks again, which is a good sign

F: 559X6B(5)W(60.0)

Top Pick
7 Annie Oakley
F: X8005B(5)W(55.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Denise Jeffcoat )
Was our pick when it stepped up to 2100m for the first time two back, but it showed nothing. That was proved all wrong when it was within 3 lengths of the winner 11 days ago, against a much stronger field
Main Danger
3 Air Dancer
F: 83541B(4)W(58.5)
( J-George Rooke )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Liked its fighting spirit when it won two weeks ago. Stable in form and good jockey in the saddle

8 Magee
F: 65648B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )

Does look the best of the 'roughies' and, with the rails draw, might place to boost your multis

Main Danger
8 Tall Timber
F: 760B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Conor and Sarah Fahy )
3 lengths behind Unrestrained two back and in a Stakes race won by impressive That's Gold last time. So relative EW odds are generous from inside gate

F: 574B(9)W(56.0)

16 Rob's Mistake
F: 569X8B(10)W(57.5)
( J-Niranjan Parmar )
( T-Hanna Orting and Sophia Nolan )
Scratched in an earlier race in preference for this. Caught our eye when resuming and this step up to 1600m today is just perfectr
Next Best
2 Gadabout
F: 8X533B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Cody Cole )
Craig Grylls on a Cody Cole runner, with good form, so it looks certain to be there at the business end

3 Shuffle The Pack
F: 6552B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

Just the 4 starts and ran its best race last time up. That was when it stepped up to this distance so that is promising
