DRAGON ROLL ended a losing run in comfortable fashion at this course last time and she should benefit from the step back up in trip, so she makes most appeal, with the likeable Dr Patrick also likely to be on the premises. Most of the others have something to prove, but Boom Boom Boom looks a player on the back of an excusable run.
