Miss Dordogne was not always a straightforward ride last year, but she certainly showed plenty of ability, she won on soft ground and with the stable already showing good signs of form she is fancied to make a winning return. Noble Pursuit has some fairly solid form in handicap company and rates as an obvious threat, although he may be better on a drier surface. The lightly raced Heretic and the progressive Foodbroker Fancy are others to consider. The former is particularly interesting on his first attempt at this trip, while the latter gets in with an attractive weight.
