White Shift, Mabait, and Bobbie Soxer catch the eye here with BOBBIE SOXER getting the vote. Luca Cumani's Mabait finished off last season in good heart, following up a good win with a placed effort at Wolverhampton. He may just need his first outing of the campaign, but he is respected hailing from a yard that is now starting to flourish. White Shift dropped into claiming class before picking up a small handicap recently. Well drawn and chasing a hat-trick she can go well, but the balance of her form looks weaker than the selection. Bobbie Soxer ran a close second behind a prolific winner two outings ago, before making no mistake next time. Despite carrying a penalty here, Bobbie Soxer can follow up.
