A huge field considering the modest prize money on offer. Beverley Bullet, successful at Wolverhampton in March, is 6lb lower than for his last win on Turf. ZEPHYRINA won on ground with some give at Chepstow last year and there wasn’t a lot wrong with her comeback fifth at Pontefract in a race that’s worked out well. Perfect Swiss won twice at Newcastle last season but is 0-10 on this surface. Fitzrovia is slipping towards a decent mark but may need this while Absolute Dream gets cheekpieces after a poor run at Leicester.
