Fliss Floss hasn't run since producing her best performance to date at Musselburgh in August. Luscifer has run very well over the track and trip the last twice and is on the same mark but it's about time MASHAAN was losing his maiden tag. Richard Fahey's charge was narrowly beaten at Lingfield last time and has dropped to a mark he should be capable of winning from. Critical Thinking has eight course victories to his credit, including this a year ago. He'll be better for his recent run and Laura Pearson's claim can see him go close. Always Dreaming has never won but is on her lowest mark as a consequence.
