Divertimenti and Sir Geoffrey are both capable of getting involved off their current marks, while Insolenceofoffice is another with course form who could figure. MAX THE MACHINE won a maiden race over track and trip in October and the three-year-old gets a speculative vote off a workable mark. Beverley winner Auntie Mildred hasn't raced since May, but Exkaliber went close the last time he competed over track and trip and Robyn landed a maiden contest on the Polytrack last time.
