Race preview
With several nursery debutants and potential improvers on show, the betting could be a good source of clues. The likes of Charcon, Calypso Breeze and Runninman won't need to step forward by much to have an impact. However, the safest option might be LOPE HARSWELL, who has tackled stronger opposition than she faces here. Fourth over a mile at the track last time, the third has subsequently franked that form and this return to 7f will suit.
