Two of those returning from a long break in Bormeo and Petrou are interesting here especially given the yards that they come from with Chevelgris another that should be able to get involved. Western Home looks capable of further progress over this trip but top weight gives him a tough task and in the end it’s MISS MASH who gets the vote after she returned to something like her winning form last time out.
