Happy Diva (6/5), Nuts Well (9/4), Jonniesofa (11/4), Applaus (22/1), Rossamilan (100/1)

A fascinating little contest, with several potentially decent chasers among the handful of runners. Although this trip is short of her best, HAPPY DIVA could be the one for today. Kerry Lee's mare could make it a real test and her sex allowance could prove to be invaluable. Nuts Well is proven on the ground and is more of a specialist at this trip and had similar ability over hurdles, so he is feared. The runner with most scope for improvement is surely Jonniesofa, though he has wellbeing to prove after such a lengthy absence and given that this trip is well short of his best, he may be a fair bit better for this run. The other pair are both worth keeping an eye on too, in a race that looks well worth noting.
