Has spent most of her career in much stronger middle distance fields leading to a low strike rate. Should be winning this on ability although 8 Flash Inferno made an encouraging resumption down the straight track.

Was a fast trial winner on this track before an unlucky debut at Hatrick, then she was all over the place down the straight track. She might pick the gaps better back here. 6 Pressure’s On is another that qualified well around this circuit. Made a decent recovery for third after jumping last on debut down the straight.

Was a close third in the corresponding race here three starts back before a brave third over 650m at Cambridge. Straight track miss is best forgotten as he has a horror record there. 8 Music Road won this type of race the last time she was on this track last month.
