Avitta, My World and Premier Estate are the shortlisted trio here and Avitta can follow up a good win last time. Premier Estate has not run since finishing third at Fontwell eighteen months ago but has won at Folkestone over fences. He is probably best watched on his belated re-appearance but he has ability and is respected. A dual winner over fences, My World has only been raised four pounds for a win at Bangor in April, his last outing. He ran well first time out last season and can go well here. Avitta won twice early last season and this may be the time of year to catch her. She won with authority at Hereford on her seasonal debut and only raised six pounds here will take some stopping. Avitta is the selection.
