No recent winning form on offer but several went close last time including BLUE WHISPER, who was beaten less than a length when third over track and trip last month and looks set to open his account. Rosy Ryan was narrowly beaten over a furlong shorter at Beverley recently while Retirement Beckons missed out by only a nose over 7f at Ayr. Millie The Minx went close at Carlisle before disappointing on fast ground back at the same track while John Fearne sent out last year’s winner but Phoenix Lightning is hard to fancy on recent form.
