In a race that won't take much winning MACK'S SISTER is the very tentative selection. She won over course and distance two starts ago and isn't much higher in the weights as a result. Her trainer has been firing out some winners recently and as one of the few who have much recent credible form to go on she gets the vote. West Leake was well behind Mack's Sister on his most recent start but he did record back-to-back wins earlier in the year and has claims on that form. Laser Ruby wouldn't need to find much on a first start in a handicap to score for Andrew Balding, although she will need to break better away from the stalls.
