MOLLY CAT was having her first start since October when a good fourth at Lingfield on Saturday and Neil Mulholland's bumper winner will appreciate the longer trip and tonight's ground so gets the vote. Oskar Denarius attracted strong support on soft ground at Chepstow and duly obliged though only by courtesy of the stewards. He's gone up 6lb but that's unlikely to prevent another big effort. Khee Society has only run twice in 18 starts on ground with some give - winning one and being narrowly beaten in the other. He'll make a bold bid with conditions in his favour while Pat's Legacy is another who likes some cut and has won on soft going around here.
