11/4

Promising daughter of Street Sense took a big step forward when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago, finding extra. Up 5 lb but she rates a big player.

Style Of Life (2/1), Adorla Of Achill (11/4), Mount King (3/1), Castro Aurum (9/2), Volenti (10/1), Sir Maxi (10/1), Wicklow Way (50/1)

ADORLA OF ACHILL displayed a likeable attitude when opening her account at Haydock last time and with further progress on the cards she looks very much the way to go here. Volenti arrives in good nick and can chase home Hugo Palmer's filly ahead of recent Chester scorer Style of Life.
