The last three winners have been returned 25/1, 12/1, and 20/1. The progressive Mr Snoozy scored over the C&D last time though that was on soft ground and he's not certain to be as effective on today's going. Fleeting Fashion also scored on ground with plenty of give at Beverley and though Falcun is very consistent he's yet to win a race in 17 starts. Tobrata has an even worse record having failed to score in 26 runs though he's been placed in half of them. Ela Gonda Mou gained his first success on Turf over 1m2f at Nottingham so it was a surprise to see him back over a mile at Ripon where he ran moderately. MAFETENG is hardly a stable star but needs a victory for the paddocks. She made a promising return over 1m3f at Kempton but it's surprising that she's been kept to the Polytrack and this return to a much more testing track could enable her to make enough progress to land this modest prize.
