Laubali arrives on the back of a victory at Wolverhampton but has done all his winning so far at the latter track and WOTADOLL (NAP) is preferred. She landed a double including a course and distance success before finishing fourth in a higher grade sprint at Chelmsford and Dean Ivory’s filly should make another bold bid back at this level. Tan and Bernie's Boy have both placed over the minimum trip recently though the latter has won over course and distance in the past while Global Humor was runner-up over 7f here last time. Miracle Garden is usually thereabouts in this grade but has been off the track for over a year.
