Hard to be confident about any of these. Brown Pete failed in an amateur race last time but scored at Yarmouth before that and Shaunas Spirit has won a couple of races over shorter trips on the Polytrack this year. Thecornishcowboy also won at Kempton earlier this month but is 8lb higher today and Chatterati would figure on this season's best efforts but arrives out of sorts. A tentative vote goes to CATERINA as she started handicapping off an 8lb higher mark and showed a bit more when fourth at Newbury last month.
