Socialites Red won this off a similar mark last year and could go well again while Pulsating went close over track and trip last time and can race off the same mark. Pretty Bubbles was placed in a lower grade at Southwell recently and Nuns Walk has a shout back over 6f as does the lightly-raced Melonade. But ISLAND OF LIFE is also unexposed and a chance is taken on the Haggas filly as she goes handicapping for the first time with a recent comeback run under her belt.
