MUCKY MOLLY is the only one of these with a recent win to her name, scoring on soft ground at Brighton in July. She didn't run up to that form on a subsequent start at Yarmouth but Thomas Brown is a good jockey booking here and she could be the one to beat. Brandywell Boy knows where the winning post is here but is difficult to catch right nowadays and has been beaten twice at the track since finishing a close second on the Polytrack. Ridgeway Sapphire continues to disappoint, as does Royal Box, and it's difficult to make much of a case for any of the others, though Carmen Tango has made the trip over from County Meath.
