Hazelrigg won last season's inaugural running when narrowly getting the better of Secret Asset. But neither of that pair arrive in as good a form as DEMORA. Mike Appleby's filly gets the vote to go in again here as her recent victory at Nottingham looks even better in hindsight. She beat today's rivals and subsequent winners Tax Free and Last Sovereign on that occasion and can confirm superiority, with the latter engaged to run at Newmarket yesterday. Love Island has a shout under a penalty for a win at Pontefract while Fitz Flyer finished ahead of several of these when runner-up at Newcastle last month and is another to consider.
