Hot Whiskey has yet to win but finished closer at Huntingdon last time and has claims off his current mark. Shine In Time is another to consider on the back of a third at Fontwell but Newton Thistle failed to complete either side of scoring at Towcester last month. Warsaw Pact also won at Towcester recently when following-up an earlier victory at Wincanton. But he's upped in class for this and TARADREWE is preferred. The latter showed her first worthwhile form over timber when a close-up fourth at Taunton a week ago and can land this racing off the same mark. Absolute Shambles may also figure back on a faster surface.
