See Double You had Dubai Devils and Rinnagree Rosie behind when winning this 12 months ago but was in much better form at the time. Beyondtemptation likes it here and is the likely pace-setter, though her only recent success came over 2m. Despite top weight, Ryedale Racer should go well and there are also possibilities about Hollywood All Star but Tikkandemickey is better known as a chaser nowadays. Modulus has won three of his last four but is still climbing the weights and Vertigo had little to beat in an Ayr maiden earlier this month, though remains unexposed. BARRYS JACK clearly found 2m too short at Stratford on his first run for Brian Ellison. His win at Limerick in December came over 2m5f so he’ll be seen in a better light here.
