Da'Quonde won three times last season including here but may be a bit high in the weights as a consequence. Phoenix Clubs had ECONOMIC CRISIS a short-head behind at Musselburgh in October but the latter is much more consistent and will love the testing ground so is handed the vote. Pivotal Prospect is versatile having won over 5f and 7f last season and with ground conditions to suit she should be in the firing-line while See Clearly looks best of Tim Easterby's pair and Foreign Rhythm has dropped to a lowly mark after a long losing spell.
