Kerada will probably be a warm order ahead of this race and with good reason after three wins last term but with most of the yard's horses needing a run she is opposed. The one that gets the vote is BANJAXED GIRL who beat Kerada in a Listed race at Cheltenham during a very progressive season last term. Her stable have claimed this race the last twice and are vey much on form. Alasi is very closely matched with Banjaxed Girl on their last meeting so should be close again but the former can continue to improve.
