Only five runners but Mishraq is a half-brother to a winner and all of the others have shown some ability. Sutue Alshams has been gelded since a second at Pontefract in the autumn and Kingsley Pride found only one too good on three occasions at the end of last year. Kardia ran green on her Doncaster debut but stamina could be an issue over this trip. FOX VISION gets a tentative vote making his Turf debut having placed three times on the all-weather as he showed improvement in headgear last time.
