Unleaded gets the vote here ahead of Polka Princess and Second Paige. The selection has never raced here but stays this trip well and is fairly lightly-raced so ought to be competitive. Adjusted ratings - including rider allowance - points to Polka Princess, who will be trying this trip for the first time. It could well suit so don't dismiss her chance. Ginger Ice is also up in trip and, being a half-brother to Polar Red, it could suit too. Sharvie has at least won over two miles at Wolverhampton, albeit three years ago, Second Paige has to be respected as he is the only course and distance winner in the line-up. The best of Anniversary Guest's Turf form form gives him chances but he is untried on this surface and his latest form is nothing special. It's a messy race and a far-from-confident selection goes to Unleaded.
