Splinter looks best of those with previous experience and a bold show is anticipated. With a mark of 76 however he is vulnerable to an improver or a fair newcomer, and ALCHIMISTA falls into the latter category. From a fine stable, she is related to a number of decent performers so might well make a big impression here on debut. Benedictine is another newcomer who may not be far away and her yard is going fairly well since the return to action. Northern Hope was put away for the winter after running poorly following a gelding operation but has definite claims on previous form, and Returnofthemac was a decent second last time and should again be in the mix.
