Temperament got the better of Jacquotte Delahaye at Ayr last time and she ran no sort of race. An earlier second over track and trip suggests it's too soon to write her off but NORTHERN WATER looks a safer bet. He still ran well despite returning a losing favourite at Pontefract last time and may just be good enough to overcome a less than favourable draw. City Zen is another done no favours by a high stall number and Captain Midnight looks pretty exposed now. Margrets Gift and the newcomer Alphabet Rap could prove best of the rest.
