Oriental Girl runs in the usual cheek-pieces after running nicely without them last time, but she will need every bit of assistance possible at the top of the weights and the handicapper seems to have her measure for this race. CORRIB on the other hand wasn't far behind Oriental Girl last time out but has an 8lb advantage in this race and can make the most of it. Aspirational and Farncombe also participated in that contest at Chepstow but offer less appeal. Rockweiller is in admirable form and has every chance from this revised mark but he is unproven on ground softer than Good. Shianda won two starts ago but needs a career best run to win this race for Gary Moore.
