Tommys Geal has been thereabouts recently but remains 8lb higher than his only win to date in 21 starts. Tabla won a maiden over a mile here in December but has plenty to prove over today's longer trip as does Caltra Colleen. But last year's winner LADY LUNCHALOT is fancied to make another bold bid given Laura Mongan's mare is 3lb lower this time round and she makes more appeal than What A Party, a runner-up in plating races the last twice now.
