Thoughtsofstardom, Applesnap and Best One are on the shortlist here with Best One likely to live up to his name. Thoughtsofstardom won at Folkestone before just being touched off at Brighton last time. This looks a tougher contest but he is in good heart and cannot bediscounted. Applesnap was winning her second race when scoring at a big price at Yarmouth last time. That was only a small event and it is hard to see a follow up. A winner at Wolverhampton in November, Tilly's Dream has run very well recently, notably when chasing home the in form Our Faye at Goodwood in a decent contest and can go well but preference is for Best One. Best One was chasing a hat-trick when just touched off by Misaro at Chester, and with the fast ground he favours, Best One can make it three out of four.
