Ronya has been a bit hit-and-miss but was on her best behaviour when gaining a comfortable victory at Redcar. Diddy Eric prefers some give in the ground which looks unlikely though he'd have a major chance if the rain arrives. Billy Ranger's form figures hide the fact that he's been well beaten when placed in his last three starts so it's APPLEJACK LAD who gets the nod. He's never won on Turf but went close over this sort of trip at Newcastle before finding 1m4f too far at Musselburgh.
