Your Pal Tal, who completed a hat-trick here early last year, had dropped to a lowly mark when scoring over an extra furlong here last month. Strategic Heights, who was 4l behind in that latter event, is better over the minimum trip and has a chance to reverse the form on 6lb better terms. The three-year-old filly Go Kart, a winner here in December, has been narrowly beaten on her last two appearances but Anonymous Lady had no chance at the weights on her final start last season though would have to be considered on her close second from 5lb higher here in September. LADY MEGA hasn't had much racing but has won three times and is so well treated at her best being 10lb lower than her last victory, especially with Robbie Downey using his claim, that a chance is taken that she's ready after a long break.
