Shamrock Lady is on the same mark as when popping up in this race last year at 25-1 but we'll award the vote to INTOLERABLE ahead of Hightime Heroine in a typically competitive race. The selection has been off the track since disappointing in July when partnered by an apprentice. He had been progressing nicely prior to that and is given the chance to resume that progress with Seb Sanders back in the saddle. Hightime Heroine has been performing consistently and races from the same mark as when narrowly beaten in a competitive fillies race at Wolverhampton. She should go well again as should Mark Of Meydan who will need things to pan out in front of him given that he's usually held-up. Valatrix is another who has been performing fairly consistently and she could reward each-way support whilst Tamasou looks well drawn for a prominent racer and could try to make all. Trade Centre is yet another to rate a mention in an open race but we're going to side with Intolerable.
