Verdict
Dana's Present has every chance at the weights and could go close to losing his maiden tag while Baby Driver has been threatening to win his first race in 22 starts with a series of placed efforts. Basle is another who could figure at this level but OLNEY LASS gets the nod. She's had just the one start this season but all of last year's three victories came at this course and Lydia Pearce's mare can go in again dropped in class. The Wonga Coup looks best of the rest but was engaged to run here yesterday.
