Plenty of these have form on the track including Happaugue, a dual winner here earlier in the year and beaten just a neck under a big weight last week. He's up 3lb but can improve further and will be difficult to beat. Gougane Barra won twice here early last year then produced two fine runs over the course and distance early this year but has a long absence to overcome. PACHMENA was making her debut on the track when springing a 40/1 shock a fortnight ago where she got up close home. She's only 1lb worse off and a similar run can see her complete a double. Crescent Lake wasn't too far behind and can get involved while Pulsating has a tremendous all-weather record and can never be discounted.
