Plumette won over 7f here recently but has yet to race over this far while stablemate New Force debuts for the yard having won over track and trip at the end of last year. BAKERSBOY (NAP) was having his first outing for Phil McEntee when going close in a higher grade here earlier in the month. He gets the vote to go one better given the winner has subsequently landed a double. Recent runner-up Carey Street could be in the mix once again while Harbour Vision and Eloso have been thereabouts over shorter trips and the latter is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
