Nigel Twiston-Davies runs two in this maiden but both are returning from a lay-off. Jockey bookings suggest Oh Michelle may be more forward than Costante Via and she did show promise in decent bumpers last season. Dory has to go on the short-list as she only found one too good when favourite at Fakenham but this looks more competitive. Youknowell was still moving nicely when falling at Towcester while better is expected from Potters Sapphire. The Vocalist was ahead of Mythical Legend when second at Fontwell and has every chance of going one better but LITTLE MILLIE also looks to have decent claims. She was only headed at the last over 3m at Southwell last month so dropping back in trip should suit. Points winner Frozen Motion may be best of the rest.
