Ravenscar won this last year and arrives on the back of a victory at Sedgefield while Dollar Bae bids for a hat-trick though the soft ground is a worry for her. But dual novice winner AUTUMN RETURN makes her handicap debut after scoring at Catterick and another bold bid is expected from Ruth Jefferson’s mare. Maimie's Magic headed Millarville at the line at Kelso last month and that pair are hard to separate.
