Lots with chances but it could pay to side with RHOSCOLYN to end a losing run and capitalise on a lenient mark now that ground conditions have swung in his favour. George Boughey's improving Asuka rates a major danger though in his bid to gain a fourth success from five starts to date. Collecting Coin, Goldmoyne and Vixey also need factoring in.
