Several course specialists face the starter in this and all are respected. Tommys Geal has won twice over track and trip and is a pound lower than his latest victory on the course. He won at Kempton last month so must be in the firing-line, though Onehelluvatouch has similar claims on the form book if fully wound-up. Solveig's Song looked to be coming to hand last time at Kempton and Ms Gillard is ultra-consistent. Little Kipling wouldn’t be a surprise winner given recent efforts but we’ll take a chance that BECCA CAMPBELL is ready following a lay-off. She won three of her four starts over course and distance last year and Hollie Doyle takes off a valuable 3lb.
