A competitive sprint where it might pay to follow the money with four of the past eight favourites in this race winning. MILBANKE (1) landed a course and distance handicap last September under Ryan Sexton. Looked in need of the run when fourth of six on reappearance here last month. Market confidence to be heeded. CATTON LADY (10) placed both previous attempts tackling track and trip. Lightly-raced and a definite player off bottom weight. TRAVIS (9) delivered a good runner-up effort thirteen-days ago at Leicester and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could be a potential source of improvement. HAVANA RUM (6) recorded a 2L Ripon win last month and cannot be ruled out.
