Favourites have a good record in this and MARSHA will probably start somewhere near the head of the betting. She made a promising start when runner-up at Kempton and can land this given her trainer's impressive strike rate at the track. Cheeky Angel also finished runner-up on her debut but was over three lengths behind the winner at Carlisle and Indian Pursuit failed to threaten when placed over track and trip during the week. Newcomers to note include Wernotfamusanymore and Lydiate, a sister to a couple of winners.
