Plenty of guesswork involved as to which one of these can produce their best form and WHITECREST is no more than a speculative selection. She was a disappointing favourite at Bath last time but her placed efforts at Warwick before that would be good enough to land this. Sulis Minerva is another with the past form to figure and she'll have come on for her recent reappearance, but Too Many Questions has shown his best on Polytrack so far. The betting will probably help in separating the newcomers and stablemates Backstreet Fighter and Coalburn.
