Duarte Fernandes didn't show much on his reappearance on this track while New Regalia finished last in heavy ground at Gowran though the latter ran well here last season. Ebadani couldn't get to Catchy Lass here last month but should have come on for the run though third-placed Rocky Bleier made a very encouraging debut and it would be no shock if he were to reverse the form. MADAM MO has had plenty of chances but her overall form puts her in with a shout and she reappeared with a narrow defeat last season so is handed the vote.
