Cool Vixen has placed twice on Polytrack at Lingfield and the recent Brighton runner-up wasn’t beaten far over course and distance in February. She has leading claims in this but has to give 6lb to HELLAVAPACE, who is due a change of luck though is still creeping up the weights. Mr Zee needs further and has disappointed since winning at Leicester but Dashing To You will have needed his run at Yarmouth and Making Music could be interesting if blinkers have the desired effect.
