The vote goes to HAVEN LADY, who deserves to get her head back in front having hit the crossbar on each of her last 4 starts, including over this C&D in March. Bookmark is on a good mark judged on her turf form but she’s yet to strike on the all-weather and bigger threats may be posed by Lunar Shadow, who looked better than ever when narrowly prevailing at Lingfield last time Sainte Colette failed to make an impact on her handicap debut when last seen but is worth another chance.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX trained by D O’Meara, Upper Helmsley, 155 miles.
This could be the day when SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX finally opens his account. He has made the frame on several occasions, including when fourth recently in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford where he left the impression that moving up to this trip would be in his favour. Alaskan would have benefited from a stronger gallop when third at Lingfield and will be a threat if getting that here, while She’s A Mirage, Gypsy Nation and handicap-debutant Zoukster are all worthy of consideration.

Supporting a 17-race maiden is obviously risky but in VIEWFROMTHESTARS the chance is worth taking in this trappy-looking contest. He wasn’t seen to best effect last time and he may well have hit the target at Kempton on his penultimate start, granted a clearer passage Cases can be made for pretty much all of the others, with Storm Master and Tea Garden the pair who may offer the most resistance.
