Shustraya improved to land a Kempton handicap last time out and can follow up this afternoon, Flying Goose and Tender The Great could provide most danger. Peter Makin's charge has shown his best form on an artificial surface and put in a gutsy performance to beat Abonai by a head. If displaying the same determination this afternoon he should prove hard to beat. Tender The Great has had a busy old season but is holding her form well as she showed when chasing home World Spirit at Lingfield last time out. A similar effort today should see her in the shake up. Flying Goose hasn't really progressed as expected but has chances on his best form. The best of the rest could be Viva Volita, but Shustraya comes here in top form and can make it back to back victories.
