This is a dire contest, possibly ripe for an upset, but Akkapenko would have claims if returning the in the same form as when placed at Stratford and Newton Abbot last year. Micras turned in a shocker here last time but was knocking on the door previously, though is only 1-24 over hurdles. Moayadd and Global Tour are worth considering but HURRICANE MINNIE may be capable of improving on her fourth in a Fakenham seller given she’s been lightly raced.
