Most of these have been racing on testing ground including HAWAAM, who has been narrowly beaten in his three starts this term including over the minimum on this track. He had Encantador behind when they occupied the places here last month while Scream has been looking one-paced so dropping back slightly in trip may not help. Betsy Trotter made her racecourse debut on fast ground at the Curragh and showed very good pace before tackling softer going. She's an obvious threat if ready after her winter break but Teddy Boy blew the start and never really got involved over 7f at Dundalk and may not have the pace for this.
