Dove Mountain won over a mile here in November but the Irish raider disappointed when favourite at Lingfield last time and still has something to prove over today's distance. STAR ASCENDING (NAP) makes more appeal on his recent placed efforts over 1m4f at Southwell given he can race off the same mark on his first start on the Tapeta and should make a bold bid. Whisky Marmalade finally opened his account after 14 attempts when successful over track and trip last month and the Irish-trained Gold Not Silver scored over 1m2f at Dundalk in December. Astra Hall has been thereabouts over 1m6f here of late but her last win was back in 2013.
