In depth
Verdict
As almost half of these are struggling to find any sort of form the field is not hard to whittle down to just a handful. Sammy's Shuffle, Dodona and Tap Dancer all merit consideration on the pick of their form but it could pay to side with Desert Island Disk. The five-year-old does not have the best strike-rate on offer but she is relatively consistent and the burden of 6lb extra for winning here last week may not be enough to stop her. Beckon also makes some appeal on the best of her efforts and will be staying on when others have cried enough.
