This looks fairly open but SHOVEL IT ON took a big step forward when running away with a nursery over 7f at Leicester last time and has every chance under a penalty if handling the drop back in trip. Alaska has yet to run a bad race and gets on well with 5lb claimer Mitch Godwin while Moonlit Sands and Story Minister have shown enough to get involved. Hermana Santa is another to consider and Contribute wasn’t disgraced last time in a much higher grade. Polar Light makes her handicap debut on a fair mark and may be the pick of the remainder.
