Tough to rule out any of the sextet but preference is for EVE MONEYPENNY, who has failed to kick on since making a successful start to life under Rules at Punchestown in June but can put her hurdling experience to good use on first outing for Donald McCain. Drumlee Spud finished runner-up in a Worcester bumper last month and she's expected to be in the mix now hurdling, with Omaha Wish rounding off the shortlist.
