Aspen Belle is the only course winner in the line-up but would enjoy a bit more cut in the ground and has been done no favours by the draw. Mokhalad has only won twice in 29 starts but made a very promising comeback at Navan when just caught over the minimum trip. The extra furlong is more to his liking so he should get into contention again. Silk Cravat has only won on the all-weather while the lightly-raced Lewandowski has only raced in Dundalk maidens though has shown potential. KINCH showed ability in decent maiden company last summer and looks the type to do better in his second season so gets the vote to make a successful handicap debut.
