Division two of this event looks a bit harder to solve than the first, with none of the 13 runners standing out. Sir Mark Prescott, who saddles a hotpot in the opener, sends out the less fancied Christina Sanchez here, and it is hard to enthuse about her claims, with four duck eggs on the board. Gentle Response may have flattered on her debut, judged on two subsequent runs, while Domirati hails from a stable choc-full of juvenile talent, but is impossible to assess. Lucky Leo drops back in trip after finishing fourth at Musselburgh and is sure to be fancied, but at much bigger likely odds, TEAMtalk are keen on the chance of Tally. Alan Berry¿s charge produced an eye catching effort here last Monday when just touched off at odds of 25-1. Lucky owner Paul Dixon, whose colours were carried to victory by Red Wine in the November Handicap, could be celebrating again, albeit at not quite the same level, if Tally shows the same turn of foot under Francis Norton.
