In a tricky nursery, Baytown Paikea gets the vote ahead of recent winner Stir Crazy and perennial runner-up Galaxy Of Stars. The latter has finished second on his last two starts, and so is passed over in favour of Phil McEntee's widely campaigned filly who won last time out at Nottingham. That race wasn't the worst for it's grade, and the selection is taken to follow up again under the capable Hayley Turner. The horse made all that day and could be hard to catch if in the same mood today. Mick Channon's Stir Crazy has won two of his three starts on the all-weather, however he has to overcome a seven-pound penalty for his win in a seller last time out and that could make things a lot tougher today. Galaxy Of Stars has performed with credit on both of her all-weather starts, however she has struggled to get her head in front and may need a longer trip to show the improvement needed, although she does try a visor for the first time today. Of the others, Mujart was only beaten half-a-length by the selection two starts ago and so could be capable of taking a hand, as could Kyllachy Storm who takes a drop in trip after showing fair speed last time out. However, in what a looks a poor contest, the tentative vote goes to Baytown Paikea.
