Floral Spinner is preferred to Youngstar of the two previous winners in this but Oscartina and Vin Chaud are closely matched with the latter on the form book. The latter pair are also among several representing powerful NH yards and the well-bred My Dawney and Wor Josie also fall into that category and should be monitored closely in the betting. THE ROAD AHEAD has a very interesting pedigree and Peter Bowen has an excellent strike rate on this course with his bumper entries. The Grape Tree Road mare is fancied to make a winning debut.
