This is a shocker with the highest rating of 55 being shared by Hellomoto, who has one placed run on fast ground to his credit, and Rebel Flame, yet to show in three starts and running for a new stable. King Kevin has looked decidedly moderate but has one of the more experienced riders on board but John Caesar, who has won on the all-weather, is 0-26 on Turf. Lucky Ellen showed a modicum of ability in Ireland before moving to Jennie Candlish but the vote goes to LITTLE PIPPIN, who has plenty to find on official ratings but who at least has been in reasonable form in handicaps at Hamilton on her two latest starts.
