This could go the way of BIRDNOTE, who seeks to emulate his latest run over this C&D. Colonel Jackson and Tapaterm look pick of the remainder.

LAVEAU made a pleasing start to her racing career last month, when just being denied victory by a neck over this C&D. She has every chance of building on that in this, while Vigil Anna and Claudette Heir seek to make her task a tough one.

A case could be made for several in this field, but preference is for ATTHECROSSROADS, given she recorded a promising second on her racecourse bow last month. My Cajun Lady and Vai Via rate next best in that order.

NOVGOROD THE GREAT has been in terrific form of late and the drop in trip should not inconvenience as he looks to make it four wins in his last five. His main dangers look to be Grainger County and Uncle B.

SALUTE THE TROOPS has shown up well in recent workouts and he could be primed to strike on debut for his in-form connections. Fellow newcomer Smooth Motion can follow him home alongside Gran Slash.

ASSERTIKO has been in consistent form of late and a second win in three starts looks like a distinct possibility for the five-year-old. Celestial Glaze and Wind Ninety Nine also warrant consideration.

NIC'S BRO shaped with plenty of promise when third on debut and any improvement from that run should give him a big chance here. Racket looks the biggest threat along with R Admiral.

SHES ALL WOMAN is a mare in fine form at the moment having been an easy winner of her last two races and another bold bid is forecast. Dem A Wonder and Let's Be Honest are the likely dangers.

This looks a good opportunity for MIDNIGHT BELLA to get back to winning ways having been a creditable third in better company last month. Divine Exchange and Maria's Revenge are others worth considering.
