Hawkin started favourite at Leicester last month but weakened quickly and is best watched in this stronger heat. But Ski Slope has to go on the short-list having won easily on the Polytrack at Lingfield last June while Panda Spirit won twice in her first season, though just scraped home at Yarmouth in September and is 6lb higher on her return. FOREST MAIDEN didn't enjoy much luck in-running when favourite at Chelmsford in March and races off the same mark on her Turf debut. She should handle the surface so gets the nod, though Goodnightsuzy can get involved if improving a little on her victory at Haydock in September and has more scope than Lingfield runner-up Ishiamber.
