Cocktail Party went close in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time but one win in 30 starts doesn't exactly inspire confidence. DOWER GLEN has yet to win at all but she went close in a maiden race recently and that form looks slightly better - she gets a tentative vote. Force To Spend finished third on her latest start and could figure, while Lend A Light may improve dropping back in trip on only his sixth start. The veteran Jonny Ebeneezer finished in a place here last time but hasn't won a race since 2004.
