Jedd O'Keeffe has been in excellent form recently so Lady Poppy will need to be considered, especially having notched a course-and-distance success in April. She ties in closely with FUEL INJECTION on Catterick running earlier this term and it could well be that Paul Midgley's gelding confirms placings at these terms, although there should be little between the pair. Little Belter's presence towards the head of the weights reflects the level of this contest as he's 0-20 but he does seem to have improved since moving to Keith Dalgleish and should be a player. Ryedale Rio is also of interest as he's the possible improver on the back of a decent runner-up effort at Carlisle six days ago on just his fifth career start, whilst Pavers Star should not be discounted if producing somewhere near his best.
