Bluebird has been in the mix in handicaps and should figure at this level while Mehmo also placed here last time. River Chorus drops down in trip and Ireland's Eye can go well but one of the two-year-old’s may come out best on these terms. How Exciting’s earlier placed effort came over the minimum trip so ROWDOWN ROZA makes more appeal having finished third in a claimer last time.
