Just Lille, Snowed Under and Smugglers Bay are the three that make the shortlist here, with Just Liile taken to extend her winning sequence. Smugglers Bay scored at Beverley before being beaten by the well handicapped The Grey Berry, and can go well, although he is unproven over this longer trip. Snowed Under comes into calculations on the strength of a good third at Leicester two months ago, although he has not been seen since. The form does have a question mark against it and his form is better on a faster surface. Just Lille has run up a four timer, and although three of those wins have come on a faster surface, she showed good battling qualities at Hamilton last time, on an easier surface. She has gone up four pounds, but is at the top of her game and Just Lille can complete a nap hand.
