Plenty are in with a shout but the strong-travelling MISS LIA is fancied to gain a deserved first success of the season at the chief expense of fellow in-form mare Cathryns Ruby. Teds Corner is another who arrives in very good nick and seems sure to be on the premises, while Survivors Sister and Run For Cover also command plenty of respect. Blow Wind Blow completes the shortlist.
