SMOKE TRAIL ran quite well in a Newbury handicap last time and might be able to land a second course success of the campaign. The way Changemyluck stuck on for a second successive runner-up finish over 2m here 18 days ago suggests this slightly longer trip should suit and she's second choice ahead of Irish raider Herja, a winner at Sedgefield in the autumn.
