No recent winning form to consider in a poor contest but POPLAR was beaten less than a length at Chelmsford on his handicap debut and is one of the least exposed. Commanche is a rare winner nowadays but has slipped back down the weights while Give Us A Belle has just the one win on Turf in 25 attempts and is best at Wolverhampton. Westbourne Grove has yet to threaten in maiden races but has more scope for improvement than the likes of Blue Bounty and Imjin River.
