The hat-trick seeking Ember Days is bound to be a popular choice with backers in this handicap and, off just a 2lb higher mark than at Chepstow last time, the daughter of Reprimand has obvious claims. Richard Fahey's Cyclonic Storm has also won her last two but would probably prefer faster ground. Ellen Mooney has shown little of late but will be better served by this ground as will topweight Cuddles.
