Alba Del Sole won over the minimum trip at Leicester earlier in the week but has a poor strike rate on the all-weather. The same comment applies to Valley Belle, who finished runner-up at the same Leicester meeting three days ago, while One One Seven has recorded his last couple of wins here in lowly classified races. SIMBA SAMBA won on Tapeta last year and, having placed in a tougher sprint at Yarmouth last month, it could be his turn again today. Poppy May looks best of the rest.
