Roedean's second over C&D earlier this month is the best form of those with experience, though Ambitious Boy may well improve on his debut fourth over 6f here. However, one of the newcomers may prove too good. Baileys Strider and Dilizan are both worth noting for any strong support, but Falcon's Reign and LAUGH OUT LOUD make more appeal. The former is a first foal out of a winning sprinter but the latter is a half-sister to four winners including the smart Pippa Greene, a winning debutante on Polytrack, and Mick Channon's filly gets the nod to follow suit and score at the first time of asking.
