Most of these have something to prove at present but not so Market Rasen winner Trillerin Minella, though he's not exactly reliable. Pekanheim, who started favourite for a race here six weeks ago, might do better over this longer trip but She's Late took a backward step at Worcester last month and Brother Scott has never built on early promise. LORD OF DRUMS found 3m on soft going at Perth last time too far but he'd finished ahead of Pekanheim here previously and is now 5lb better off. Lucinda Russell's charge gets the vote to come good again today.
