Plenty with chances in a wide-open contest. That includes course and distance winner Bowie Boy as he returns to a mile and Hedge End won on his last visit to this venue in December. Brown Eyed Honey scored twice over 7f before finding 1m2f beyond her while Lingfield winner Zman Awal and Cornish Path are others with a shout. But a tentative vote goes to GILBEY'S MATE making his all-weather debut as this looks slightly easier than his recent tasks on the Turf.
