Nothing is safely ruled out with four course and distance winners on show but PICK A LITTLE (NAP) continues to defy the handicapper, was pretty impressive here recently and can give Timmy Murphy, stylish since switching codes, another winner. Trip and ground should be ideal. Double Czech was arguably out of his depth last time but this is his grade and he's expected to be competitive whilst Dylan's Storm's chances will be dependent upon his stamina lasting out on this first venture over a mile. Prim And Proper and Lady Bayside will have their supporters too in a trappy little heat.
