Woolstone Boy hit winning form last time and should go close in his follow bid, however we will take a chance with Fuss, Unleaded may do best of the remainder. Willie Jarvis's four-year-old is one that is certain to get the trip. She landed a Yarmouth handicap back in July, staying on well over the two miles to beat Oops in good style. She is making her all-weather debut, but if she handles the ground she will be hard to beat. Woolstone Boy is trying this trip for the first time but did stay on well to beat Kentucky Bullet here over a mile and a half. If he does get the distance he will be hard to keep out of the money. Unleaded is from a yard in good form, she goes well on the track and should put in a good showing at big odds. There are stamina doubts about most of the others and so Fuss could be the safest option and she gets our vote.
