Summereyes (5/2), Vaxholm (10/3), The Provenist (9/2), Cicely (6/1), Midgetonamission (13/2), Gurkhali Warrior (12/1), Tom Hazelgrove (16/1), Rita Rana (22/1), Ahwhatadaay (40/1), Birkie Girl (50/1), D'craicofdawn (125/1)

A low grade handicap and CICELY could be the answer having shaped encouragingly in a couple of qualifying runs. Her pedigree suggests she should enjoy the step up in trip too so she gets the nod. Summereyes should also improve for the step up in trip having ran well at Southwell last month. Vaxholm is far from out of it too.
