This is a weak seller and the percentage call looks to be Hurricane Hen; Monte Major and Baileys Outshine appeal most of the others. The selection has a fair draw and this course and distance winner scored impressively last time out. The yard are flying at present and he makes most appeal. Monte Major is another course and distance winner and although he disappointed last time, he is eased in grade and dropped in trip here, both of which will suit. Baileys Outshine finished in mid-division in this grade at Musselburgh last time so she has a bit to prove at present, but it is worth noting that she has won a handicap here in the past and on her best form she would have an obvious chance. Night Prospector is the other one who has to merit a mention in this grade, but he hasn't won a race for 18 months and that does temper confidence. Hurricane Hen is therefore forwarded as the pick.
