Six Wives has the pace to make the most of her inside draw and definitely has place prospects off her current mark. Avon Breeze is relatively lightly-raced and has been in good form this year but Ashpan Sam has passed up easier opportunities this season and both Another Wise Kid and Escape To Glory have been in the handicapper's grip lately. Rusty Rocket had the best of the draw when winning at Haydock earlier this month, finishing ahead of Beau Mistral and JUST LIKE HEAVEN. It would be no surprise if the placings were reversed here on much faster ground and Tim Easterby's charge gets the nod having won earlier over track and trip on similar going.
