TOAST OF THE TOWN, the only four-year-old in the race, looks to have been found a decent opportunity to get off the mark. She was beaten a short-head and a head in her two opening runs this campaign before running well in a Nottingham Listed contest and none of her rivals can boast a similar level of form. Cascading has been staying on at one pace over shorter so could be suited by the longer trip though Shadows Ofthenight is a more likely threat as she's had just the two runs on soft ground and showed some improvement at Leicester last time. Social Riser was a 25/1 chance for her Leicester debut but showed enough to suggest she'll be found a little race in the not too distant future.
