Scarborough Lily is holding her form well and went close at Wolverhampton last time after scoring over C&D in August. Putin made a massive improvement on his earlier outing at this track when landing a race over a mile here a week ago and he has a penalty to contend with, while Totally Trusted has yet to live up to her name, as she's turned in a couple of poor efforts either side of finishing third over C&D last month. Preference goes to SOPRAN NAD, who returns to this surface for the first time since August's cosy victory and is 1lb better off with his apprentice's claim taken into account.
