Three times a winner on the Polytrack, VALMINA took advantage of a lower mark when scoring over C&D last month. An apprentices allowance negates a big chunk of an 8lb rise and Tony Carroll's charge remains potentially well handicapped on his all-weather form. Collateral form gives Shes Rosie a shout if she's at her best while Cheers has been going well over 7f on the all-weather of late and Speak The Truth has won twice here over the minimum trip. Seamus Shindig scored over C&D in September and could make his presence felt.
