A claimer where half the field can probably be eliminated from calculations reasonably quickly and the vote goes to ENDAXI MANA MOU. Mick Quinlan's filly perhaps didn't quite get home over a mile here last time, so this drop back to 7f looks a positive. The switch to a claimer sees her favoured at these weights and she looks the most likely winner. Norton Girl was a beaten favourite here in a 6f seller last time and, as one related to success over this far, she can go very well on her first attempt at the trip. Mary Boyle won over this distance at Catterick on debut in August and acted well enough last time to have claims in this grade, while Bathwick Scanno was a shade disappointing at Lingfield but might prove better on this very different surface.
