Jim Goldie trained last year's winner and Latin Rebel looks to have leading claims this time. He had previous winner Felice back in fifth when scoring over 1m3f here last time. Kerrymerry just missed out on a hat-trick when second at Newbury recently and Monsea also has a shout on last week's third at Beverley but this can go to MORE MISCHIEF (NAP). Jedd O'Keefe's filly won a maiden here before staying on late for second over 1m2f at Haydock last month and this longer trip will suit on that evidence.
