KACHY, a real speed merchant, won this easily last year when drawn on the outside and is so quick from the gates that stall eight again this year won’t be a concern for connections. Duke Of Firenze, Brandy Station and I'll Be Good were all unplaced last year and have little hope of reversing the placings. She Can Boogie could give the Dascombe team a 1-2 if she’s recovered from her run here on Wednesday but last year’s Portland winner A Momentofmadness may be a bigger danger to the likely hot favourite as he finished ahead of Marnie James when slowly away on his return to action at Musselburgh.
