Kalarika would have a chance in this on the pick of her form but she’s proved best at the minimum trip so far. Katie Connell looks no nearer breaking her duck but Get Wishing wasn’t disgraced here last month after getting off the mark at Chepstow when Minella Voucher was tailed off. THE MAJOR is 0-8 over timber but will have needed his comeback run at Uttoxeter and a race like this could be within his capabilities. Cheekpieces could help Galactic Power who may prove the pick of the remainder.
