Not far behind two of these rivals 14 days ago when last of seven here (5f); generally been out of sorts of late and generally modest form since conditions plate success at Vaal Classic in August; makes limited appeal

Chyavana

J: G Lerena

Plenty of wins on her CV; last of 14 on first attempt in a fillies Listed race four months ago (over 5f here); back from an absence; this is a step down in class although has questions to answer

Alabama Anna

J: C Zackey

Beaten 4l when sixth of ten but didn't run badly at 11-2 running in a Listed race for the first time (over 7f here) over Christmas; has won here before; drops in class; ought to be competitive

Houston could have a say, and Fostinovo is a major contender. However, CHYAVANA is hard to look beyond. He is a course winner and has the strongest recent form (won last time).
