This is a modest affair and the longer trip is a worry for Cyflymder and Miami Gator, who would have a chance on their best form but haven't shown a great deal in recent runs. Adam Kirby has strong claims aboard Delightful Sleep, who won over 1m1f at Wolverhampton in November, but we prefer MOJO BEAR. Fourth in a similar contest over track and trip last Wednesday, Sylvester Kirk's filly will be helped by Josh Baudains' claim today. Penbryn has been sprinting lately but stays this far and could be the pick of the remainder.
