Not a great deal for backers to go on here with only Acquired and Empress Of China having raced previously so what can only be a tentative vote goes to Foxy Trix, who hails from a yard that has a good record in bumpers. The selection is bred more for the flat than the winter game being by Mind Games out of a Goldhill mare and, with the yard of Tom George in good form, she could be the answer to the finale. Supreme Hope is bred for jumping being by Supreme Leader out of a Callernish mare but may find on or two of these too quick for her under today's conditions. Henrietta Knight introduces a daughter of Persian Bold, Queen Soraya, who make plenty of appeal on breeding but the stable's horses have tended to need their first run of the season and that may be the case again here. The remainder of the newcomers make limited appeal and, unless one of the two runners to have raced previously makes dramatic improvement on their second start, this could well go to Foxy Trix.
