SNOWED IN has the best recent form and can follow up his recent win over a mile at this track. He's gone close on a couple of occasion over today's longer trip and makes more appeal than Priestley's Reward, who finished runner-up at Wolverhampton last Saturday. Rafaella has been placed once in maidens over shorter distances and may do better on her Polytrack debut, but it's hard to make a case for any of the remainder on what they've shown so far.
