Rocking, Leading Edge and Blakeshall Diamond are all three-year-old¿s to be respected; however Hypnosis comes here in good form and gets the vote ahead of Wibbadune and Rothesay Dancer. The number of dangers suggests that this is a competitive little sprint and as such stakes should be kept to a minimum. The selection is not the easiest horse to handle, needing her trainer David Barker to help her into the stalls. That combo worked last time when making all under a gutsy ride at Catterick, and with that form franked since by the runner-up, she looks sure to give it a bold go. Mango Music sneaks into a 0-85 again off top-weight and is to be respected, but she looks high enough in the weights, as do Rothesay Dancer and Wibbadune after successful seasons. Katie Boo is edging back towards a tidy mark, whilst Rocking should improve on her recent outing but will certainly need to. Lady Bahia knows how to win at the track, whilst Leading Edge was impressive last time at Doncaster and may have more to come. An open affair, with Hypnosis taken to bamboozle them.
