Verdict

An open-looking sprint in which it could pay to take a chance on MUKER, whose mark has fallen appreciably already this season and looked unlucky not to finish closer at Nottingham last week. Eternal Sunshine hit form around this time last year and she could be the one to give the selection most to think about. Ancient State and I'm Dan Dare can fight out minor honours.

11	Found it easier dropped markedly in grade when fourth of 6 at Nottingham (5f, good) last week, unlucky not to finish closer given the trouble he met. Remains on a tempting mark and looks worth chancing to open his account for the campaign, for all stall 11 may not be ideal. 1st Pick 11 Muker (Ire) Jockey: Alex Jary Trainer: Nigel Tinkler J: Alex Jary T: Nigel Tinkler	100	-	-	-	5%

5	Turned a corner from around this time last year and could be about to do so again judged on her second of 8 at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last week, just unable to hold off the late thrust of the winner but refusing to lie down once headed. 2nd Pick 5 Eternal Sunshine Jockey: Lauren Young Trainer: Jim Goldie J: Lauren Young T: Jim Goldie	99	-	-	-	25%

4	Has improved for the switch to Adam Kirby this season, bagging a third win in 5-runner event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) just under a fortnight ago. 5 lb higher here but at the top of his game right now so clearly merits considerable respect. 3rd Pick 4 Ancient State (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Adam Kirby J: Charles Bishop T: Adam Kirby	97	-	-	-	8%
