Gaia Vallis placed twice in juvenile company at the end of last year and could figure if ready following a lengthy absence. Veterans Hear The Chimes and Stonemadforspeed are definite contenders in a race like this but Dollnamix has frequently let down supporters. EYEOFTHESCORPION has only had three outings and makes his handicap debut. He hinted at ability on his debut at Doncaster at the start of the year and there was further promise on his reappearance at Fontwell so he gets a tentative vote hailing from a stable in decent form.
