UOKHUN has improved since moving up in trip and while an 8 lb rise for last month's Southwell success demands a new personal best, she may well proved equal to the task. Next on the list is Bethpage, who lost no caste in defeat at Cheltenham and, like the selection, she is unexposed as a stayer. Billy Boi Blue won't go down without a fight and he is also shortlisted, along with Letterston Lady.
