Jewel Maker’s only win so far came on softer going but he’s not been running badly in better company than this so goes on the short-list. Karanelle has changed stables since last in action in September while Footstep At Dawn is a couple of pounds out of the handicap. Encantador is now 0-19 but Bruinneall has placed a couple of times this year without looking like winning. GREENPANDA is only a pound higher than when scoring at Roscommon in September under Ben Coen. She’s run well enough in two starts this term and is an uncomplicated ride for a race like this.
