Cherry Cola's last victory was almost two years ago over this trip on fast ground and she will be racing from 10lb lower with her rider's claim taken into account. Smokey Malone has no problems with the trip as he showed at Southwell last month but Testing Faith is still a maiden after 13 starts, though is now on his lowest-ever mark. PURPLE REIGN has only won once but almost doubled his winning tally at Catterick when beaten a neck. He's on the same mark here and looks the one to beat. Winklevi has managed to win seven races and stays further so isn't out of this.
