Followme Followyou runs in her first handicap but was all at sea on good to firm at Redcar last time. ORLIKO has been gelded and wears blinkers after finishing in mid-division last time at Newmarket. This looks easier and he may well be capable of defying top weight as none of the others have shown much so far, including stablemate Clubora. Smith’s run at Bath wasn’t entirely without promise so he looks best of the rest ahead of Daniel Dravot.
