This looks tight between Testamatta and NORDIKHAB. The former has every chance at the weights on her best form of last season but the latter has a recent run under his belt. Kevin Ryan's charge failed to land the odds on his reappearance at Thirsk but can finally open his account if taking to the surface. If not, then Solarmaite will take advantage as she's been placed twice in four starts over a mile here but Una Bella Costa's recent second at the track is misleading as she was still beaten seven lengths.
