WAIHEKE travelled strongly and pulled well clear of Drops Of Jupitor on only her second career start here last month. She looks suited by soft ground and can defy her penalty. Floral Bouquet made a promising over timber behind Spice Girl at Towcester while there will be more to come from Market Rasen third Ebony Encore, though possibly over further. Neetside and Dive Du Maquis have shown promise in bumpers but may need today’s experience.
