Whatwouldyouknow landed a double over the mile trip at Wolverhampton last month though has gone close over track and trip in the past and should be in the mix once again. The Eagle's Nest went close at the latter track recently having earlier finished behind runner-up Miss Blondell here while Given Choice also won at Wolverhampton before disappointing on the Fibresand at Southwell and drops down in distance today. Jafetica is worth noting on her belated reappearance but CUILLIN is also less exposed than most of these and James Fanshawe’s filly gets another chance having placed over course and distance on only her second start handicapping.
