RED HEEL, who was running here for only the second time when making all last week, could have her chances boosted by runner-up Masalai in the previous race. She's only up 3lb and can complete a quick double. Emphatic had Sideshow Bob almost three lengths behind when gaining his second course victory last time and should confirm the form with Danny Sheehy's claim to aid the winner's cause here. Porterinthejungle ran very well over 7f a week ago and has no problems with the extra and Overtake is consistent enough but is closely matched with Jackmel on their run here in October and the latter has a fine record around here.
