Fair Gale and Heron Bay both had an entry in a much better race at Market Rasen yesterday but would have to go on the short-list if diverted here instead. Great Mates is consistent and isn't overburdened, but Dorabelle could finish fourth of her new mark at Ffos Las and may struggle to defy top weight though did have Tri Nations well behind when scoring at Hexham earlier. STREET DANCE tried to make all over C&D last time but was collared by the in-form Kylenoe Fairy, who went onto record a comfortable success. He may last a little longer out in front today and gets the vote, though any money for handicap debutant Vertige Dore would probably be significant.
