Another very modest contest but OPTIMA PETAMUS did well to score last time ending a long barren spell and may just about be good enough to follow up in similar company. Beechwood James is a potential danger after finally showing a glimmer of form last time, and the first-time hood may help the cause of Telekinetic who wasn't completely disgraced when favourite at Wolverhampton recently. It's hard to enthuse over the others, although Saga Sprint may benefit from the drop back in trip, while Queen Mia has bits and pieces of form at shorter.
