Dual bumper winner Chilly Miss has yet to hit the heights under Flat rules but has been racing over shorter trips and this should be more to her liking. Hurry Home Poppa ended the last campaign by taking a Redcar handicap over this trip on soft ground though he needed his opening run a year ago. TRENDSETTER also won over the trip at Redcar and is fit from hurdling. He hasn't had much experience and has more potential than most so he gets the nod. Sherman McCoy is plating class but landed a course and distance seller very easily in June while winning hurdler Rockabilly Riot doesn't look badly handicapped.
