Verdict
Ruth Carr won this last year and her horses are running well so Kibaar is on the shortlist despite a big weight as he ran very well on his comeback at Pontefract. GINGER JAM can race from the same mark as when unlucky in-running over 6f at Thirsk so gets the nod over the in-form Steelriver, as the latter is better over an extra furlong. Hic Bibi scored over 7f at Chelmsford and is another who may find this on the short side though she's well handicapped back on Turf. Mr Potter completed a Polytrack double, his sixth all-weather victory, but he's 0-18 on Turf while Santafiora never looked like winning at Wolverhampton after completing a double there.
