Tagula Night scored over C&D before going close again when third at Haydock last time with the bottom five in today's race all behind. He looks sure to be thereabouts, as does La Fortunata, who is up 3lb for her recent win at Newmarket. There was cut in the ground when R Woody won this race last year off a slightly lower mark and he showed signs of a revival at Leicester recently, but the vote goes to DICKIE'S LAD. Kevin Ryan's charge posted his best effort yet when runner-up in a higher grade sprint at York in August and a repeat would put him bang there at the finish. Mac Gille Eoin is another to consider.
