Plenty in with a chance but CAVITIE makes most appeal. He won a similar event under today's apprentice over track and trip last time and looks the one most likely to run his race again here. Brynfa Boy and Mottley Crewe have claims on today's terms but both have something to prove over today's trip, though C&D winner Be A Devil is dropped in class and could figure. Stevie Gee is racing in claiming company for the first time and could also find himself in contention along with Whispering Spirit and Defector.
