Finished ahead of two of these rivals when second at 20-1 (beaten just over 4l) last month; stepped up on his last two starts; looks likely to be involved.

Hiersdieding

J: X Jacobs

Was behind two of these rivals 14 days ago when towards the rear here over 5f (maiden plate); attempting to open his account at the seventh time of asking; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Extraction

J: H Tsewu

Behind Top Dollar in a maiden when beaten 11l (eighth of 11) last month upped to 1m; if excused last two runs she would be interesting based on her third at Fairview four months ago; should go close.

Greenlight Express must enter calculations but HAT MAN can prove superior to his rivals. Opera Verse could be vulnerable to a less exposed rival, and Extraction is interesting.
