Charlie Appleby and the Gosdens have been taking it in turns to win this and both have a couple of representatives with the former's MOUNTAIN SONG preferred. The Godolphin filly was only beaten a nose here on her debut and can get the better of stablemate and newcomer Eternal Hope. Rab Havlin has plumbed for Southwell runner-up Brightly rather than Free Lovin' and the former can also figure. Cloudbreaker won at Newmarket last summer while Tulekya placed at Lingfield last month and the newcomer Crack Of Light should be noted for the in-form Haggas yard.
