Take The High Road and Splash Around must have some sort of chance in a race like this. Delirium won a handicap at Chepstow in May and started favourite last time at Bath. She has her ground so also goes on the short-list. Mans Not Trot is having a first run on Turf but was second in a Lingfield seller last time. Unveiling finished last in that race but was second earlier here and on the Turf course at Lingfield. CLENYMISTRA has a bit to find at the weights but her latest second at Catterick is probably the best recent form on offer and she is back over this trip for the first time since landing a Ripon seller in August.
