Along Came Rosie won at Newcastle in November but has run poorly in her last two starts and is probably worth taking on here. Alpha One has claims on placed efforts at Newcastle and Sedgefield while Mister Wall Street has shown enough to suggest a race of this nature should be within his compass, though he weakened quickly over this trip at Musselburgh last time and this is a much stiffer track. NEXT TO NOWHERE could only finish fourth when well backed at Newcastle last month but his dam won over 3m so this step up in distance is sure to suit and he probably has more scope than his rivals here.
