Auwitesweetheart and Bee Stinger are the most exposed runners in the line up and may fight out the finish here, we will side with the first named, Glad Big may do best of the others. The selection improved throughout last season, ending with a runners up spot behind the 75 rated Cesar Manrique at Bath. That is not a bad standard for the others to aim at and she looks the one to beat. Bee Stinger has a similar profile, having finished in the frame on his last four outings. He is very closely matched with the selection on official ratings and looks a big danger. Glad Big has chances on his third to Missed A Beat at Lingfield last term and should be there or thereabouts. Top yards are represented by Toss The Caber and Virgin's Tears, so watch for any market moves on these two. However Auwitesweetheart has the more solid form and gets our vote.
