A very tricky seller that may fall to Shielaligh, with Hadath and Lucky Valentine put forward as the main rivals.Gay Kelleway's four-year-old has been knocking on the door all season and put in another sound effort when second to Piddies Pride at Wolverhampton last time. She has done most of her racing at the midlands track, but can be expected to be just as effective on this surface. Hadath came good in a claimer over course and distance last time beating St Austell by a comfortable two lengths. The runner up has gone well since so the form looks solid and Hadath will be hard to keep out of the frame. Lucky Valentine hasn't raced since August but has bits and pieces of form that put her in with strong claims in this company. The best of the remainder could be Man Crazy, but Shielaligh deserves to win a race of this nature and gets our vote.
