Jessie Allan won this last year but looks to have been feeling her age lately. Crocodile Power has shown nothing on Turf so far but Viva Voce has placed on his last two visits here, though really needs some give in the ground. Time To Parley and Kraken Florida are the least exposed but this might be the day that BOBBY SHAFTOE finally comes good as he placed off a higher mark at Carlisle last month and was just beaten at Musselburgh before that.
