These sprinters tend to win in turn and this is a tricky puzzle. Woodlands Charm has delivered an excellent season for Nigel Tinkler and should give it a good shot against her elders, whilst stable companion, Cottam Lane, is nicely handicapped if rediscovering better form after a quiet period. Mostallim also looks on a feasible mark but has been dealt the outside draw which may make life tougher, whilst Dream Together, competitive the last twice, runs off the same mark at a track he seems to enjoy. He is tempting but a chance is taken with HELLO ZABEEL. He's run well enough this term without really looking likely to win, but the move down to sprinting for the first time this season could work the oracle with McSweeney's 5lb claim enhancing his chance further
