This has attracted a big field, despite the modest prize money, but it still won't take much winning. Northern Acres and Copt Hill are usually thereabouts at this level. HONOURABLE GENT (NAP) has to go on the short-list as he's just come up short in both starts since falling two out when leading at Ayr and he's preferred to King's Chorister. The latter won over 2m here earlier this month, but that was an even less competitive affair than this. A bad blunder put paid to Tara Mac at Doncaster four weeks ago and she was quickly pulled up. But she's twice finished second at Musselburgh this season and wouldn't be far away if reproducing her best form. Vision De La Vie would have appreciated another half mile.
