Cadeaux Power boasts the highest handicap mark but will do well to give weight to younger rivals on her first start since May. Shipwright looks likely to appreciate the drop back in trip after a modest effort over a mile but DARK SIDE DREAM gets the nod. The latter was placed in a couple of decent nurseries last term and will be sharper for a recent outing at Chelmsford. Excentricity looks no nearer winning while Overage is fitted with blinkers for his racecourse debut.
