Plenty with a shout in this. Stonecoldsoba won over track and trip three weeks ago and Threediamondrings was successful at Lingfield last month. Galilee Chapel was narrowly beaten at Newcastle recently with Bridey's Lettuce back in sixth and is another to consider but it could be the turn of BURNSIDE today. The latter was beaten only a head over course and distance last week, with Macksville behind, and Ian Williams’ charge should go close again off his current mark.
