This is the more competitive division and although Novay Essjay should be respected now back sprinting, we'll side with proven course form of KOO AND THE GANG while My Mandy could be interesting if taking to the surface. The selection won his maiden over course and distance three starts ago. The form from that race has worked out nicely and he looks fairly enough treated on his handicap bow. Novay Essjay won his maiden over this trip but has been handicapping over longer distances with limited returns. His sire has produced winners on this surface. It's not certain My Mandy will act on this surface but if she does she's treated fairly enough for a challenge while Princess Shamal took advantage of a low looking mark to grab second place at Fos Llas last time.
