Sir Mark Prescott's Froglet looks to have this dire race very much at his mercy. A fair second on his seasonal bow at Ayr last week behind Oriental Empress, he wouldn't have to improve to take this with plenty to spare. The others all look slow, but hurdlers Commanche Wind and Trooper Collins wouldn't be completely without hope. Executive Choice is the only other runner worthy of a mention.
