Ashkalara has enjoyed being held up in her last couple of runs and similar tactics may be employed whilst Croeso Cusan returns after a fine win here earlier in the month. She runs under penalty for prevailing against Ken's Girl and remains one of the likely threats to our tentative selection which is GEMMA'S DELIGHT. She has finished well in her last three races including a victory here two races ago and she's looked like a mile will suit based on those efforts. She gets the vote just ahead of Polar Annie who won last time here despite her jockey losing the whip with a furlong to go.
