Verdict
Musical Ava is still a maiden after 19 starts and has never raced over a trip this far. Miracle Way has won a bumper around here and looked on the way back to form over the track and trip last time while Caerleon Kate gained her only victory in 34 starts over slightly further here in October and is on a lower mark. Global Racing needs a thorough test of stamina which he got when scoring over 3m at Punchestown in January while Duke's Girl is still a maiden after 27 career starts. HOWITSDONE (NAP) has taken some time to reach his best but there were signs at Clonmel last month that his turn wasn't far off and he ran very well at Tramore a fortnight ago. He's been left on the same mark and with his rider's claim a bonus he can get off the mark. The four-year-old Balgowlah gave notice of an imminent victory here last time and could provide the main threat.
