The recent run of form — 8/462- — includes placed finishes that point to a big run here.

The Rebecca Menzies/Lewis Saunders partnership is one to follow, and they will fancy their chances here.

The Good going should suit, and with the draw in stall taken into account, conditions look favourable.

Key angle: Top-rated in field (OR 98).

Rated 98, the handicapper may have left a bit in hand.

Seasmoke is the each-way option — a solid claim for a frame finish.
