Verdict
Willie Haggas had a good chance of landing the opener and has an even better one in this with PENNY DROPS. She found only the progressive Cape Factor too good in a Listed race at Newmarket last week and should go one better in this. Majorities and Go Sakhee look the chief dangers of the others with racecourse experience but both have some catching up to do to match the selection's form. Henry Candy won this with the smart sprinter Seal Rock in 2010 and the speedily-bred Spring Fling makes more appeal than Indy of the newcomers.
