Plenty with a chance in the opener and they include recent C&D winner Qeethaara. She had previous hat-trick hero Storm Runner back in third on that occasion, but the latter finished close enough to suggest he could reverse running on another day. Karate also scored over track and trip last time although that was only his second win in 25 starts, while Dichoh and Ermyntrude have claims if back to their best. However, ISDAAL found herself short of room close home when third over C&D last month and, off a 2lb lower mark today, Kevin Morgan's lightly-raced five-year-old gets the vote to open her account.
