Bountiful Forest won at Thirsk in August but has yet to encounter a surface this soft. Secret Applause has shown signs of promise but needs to find some consistency and the likes of Orient Class and Slanderous probably have a bit more scope. SCARBOROUGH's only victory so far has come in a Southwell seller but she did finish ahead of Dynamo Walt and Annie's Rose back on the Fibresand in a nursery last time and races off the same mark here. Conditions shouldn't be a problem so Paul Midgeley's filly gets the nod.
