Hard to be confident about any of these. WINTER HILL gets the speculative vote as she returns to the minimum trip for the first time since winning at Beverley in July and has dropped 9lb in the weights since. Imaginary Diva and Red Rhythm are both 5f winners this year and Richard Hughes is booked for the latter while Spic 'n Span has been in better form in soft ground of late and scored over C&D last season. Both Steel Rain and Yanza have something to find with the latter on earlier running at Ffos Las but Steel Rain is on a winning mark if back to his best.
