McCarthy Mor has a leading chance at the weights but was well beaten on his previous start at the track. But UNDER APPROVAL won his maiden over 5f on the Fibresand and ran well again for third here last time. Karen Tutty's charge gets the vote. Kempton winner Synonym appeared to handle the surface on her latest start and has plenty in hand on today's terms with Sea Whisper, placed here on her last couple of outings.
