None of these inspire confidence but PETITE GANACHE has placed here on a couple of occasions since scoring at Musselburgh back in January and may prove good enough. Mead Vale finished closer over 2m here last time and stays this far while Talktomenow slipped down the weights last season and has had wind surgery since last in action. Pads would prefer some cut and Frame Rate is fit from the Flat.
