Skidby Mill won this last year but recent form has been disappointing. Claude Greenwood's latest third was over a longer trip and Focail Mear has also been racing over further but GOLLY MISS MOLLY ran well at Wolverhampton last month and should go close as she's been placed on two of her last three starts on this track - she deserves a change of luck. Vale Mentor's latest third at Redcar came in a higher grade race but connections seem undecided about his best trip.
