Finelcity landed a hat-trick here last year and should be sharper for a belated comeback run. Phalaborwa scored at Wolverhampton before placing over track and trip and Plant Pot Power has a shout on his recent second at Newmarket. But a couple of subsequent winners have come out of the maiden race won but YABRAVE at Salisbury in July and Roger Varian’s charge gets the nod now handicapping. First Dance is another recent maiden winner but Mulzim has struggled off higher marks since winning at Wolverhampton in April.
