GOLDMADCHEN bounced back to form in an amateurs' race over track and trip last time. She was winning off a 12lb higher mark at this time last year and may well follow up in this lowly grade. Ice Tres went close here in January, but is as unreliable as the rest of the field and hasn't figured since. Layla's Boy wasn't beaten far over track and trip in December but has been tailed off in a couple of subsequent starts. Compton Silver made the frame over a shorter trip here earlier this year and Beggers Belief finished a bit closer last time.
