Ground conditions make this tricky to unravel with soft ground an unknown for many leading contenders so caution is recommended. Lysander Belle, a smooth winner latest, and Miss Enigma, hooded and blinkered for the first time, fall into that category and both should prove competitive if handling conditions. Similar comments apply to CHOP CHOP who is a hopeful choice in that she is taking a significant drop in trip in order to tackle this sprint distance for the first time. She seems to be steadily getting her act together, does look nicely treated and this could just be her metier. Deptford Mick and Foxy Femme are pretty unexposed and worthy of consideration.
