Most of these can be given a chance of sorts. PERESTROIKA won her maiden here and ran well again at Leicester over this longer trip on her handicap debut. She gets only a speculative vote given Hound Music scored over track and trip three weeks ago and the unexposed Heart Locket goes handicapping for the first time having won over today's distance at Bath. Mystery Code is another maiden winner and she steps up in trip today along with Newmarket winner Peace Prize and Mikandy, who completed a treble on her comeback at Nottingham but was beaten off a 9lb higher mark last time. Sweet Selection is not out of this either.
