Elvrika (7/4), Strawberri (2/1), Golden Dove (9/2), Pertemps Sia (8/1), Arctic Victory (14/1), Majestic Tejaan (18/1)

It's hard not to be sweet on the chances of STRAWBERRI who starts life in handicaps on an attractive mark and showed good battling qualities when scoring at Haydock last time. Elvrika is feared most on the back of her recent Haydock success, with fellow handicap debutante Pertemps Sia not taken lightly either in an intriguing handicap.
