Mark Johnston is really going for this with three entries. Salutation may come out on top as he made all for a very convincing victory over this trip at Newcastle and the assessor hasn't been harsh with a 6lb rise. Bold Prediction is another front-runner tackling this trip for the first time while Medicoe made all over this trip at Catterick so the race could be set up for a finisher and SIMPLY SHINING fits the bill. Richard Fahey's Rock Of Gibraltar filly came with a strong run to win at Thirsk with something in hand and the assessor hasn't been too harsh on her with a mark of 78. Bonnie Lesley has won two nurseries very easily though a 9lb rise may halt her progress.
