Rafelite stepped up on the form of her reappearance run when narrowly beaten off today's mark at Bath recently and a reproduction of that effort may suffice here so she gets the vote ahead of Rare Coincidence and Caymans Gift. The last mentioned has been running well in defeat of late but has paid the penalty for his consistency at the hands of the handicapper and may be booked for a place at best again. Kyle of Lochalsh would have claims on the form shown at Musselburgh two starts ago but has disappointed either side of that so may be best watched, while Millennium Hall gave little sign of encouragement of late and of more interest may be Rare Coincidence. Roger Fisher's gelding has run two reasonable races since a campaign over hurdles and is entitled to be thereabouts again but Rafelite holds solid claims if handling the faster ground and she gets the vote.
