The draw bias is nowhere near as pronounced over this trip so Vikivaki, who began her first campaign in very good style, should go well as she will have needed her comeback at Southwell, her first run since June. Parion also returned to action on the Fibresand but was nowhere near the level of her second at Leicester last summer. Leopardina ran quite well over 7f on Polytrack and drops back in trip but this can go to MINA VELOUR, who was a 28/1 chance on her debut over 7f here last month but belied the odds with a fine effort and should have the pace for this. Rimmal made her debut over a mile at Newcastle but finished tailed off.
