The last three winners have been returned 20/1, 11/1 and 50/1. A three-year-old was successful a year ago and Catallout will be fancied to continue the trend after her short-head defeat over the C&D earlier this month tough a 5lb rise looks a bit harsh. Chookie Avon likes some cut in the ground as it was when he scored over the trip at Musselburgh in October. Paul Hanagan is an eye-catching booking and he should go well but it's EMERALDS SPIRIT who looks the one to be on. John Weymes' filly looked as though she was running into form with a couple of good efforts last month and confirmed the opinion when runner-up to Blues Jazz on ground with plenty of give at Ayr Tuesday. Jaldarshaan has been going well over a mile recently and her only success to date came over this trip at Kempton in December.
