Ereka looked an improved filly on her recent reappearance and first start for new connections. She finished third to Shutterbug over C&D, but is not certain to confirm the form on worse terms with fourth-placed Gekko, though she should take care of High Avon once again. Mi Sun Donk has place claims but the vote goes to KASSAAB. This is easier than last month's task at Lingfield and, with Steve Drowne taking over the reins from a 7lb claimer and blinkers applied for the first time, it looks as though connections mean business.
