Sal's Gal won well over five furlongs here last time out and a repeat of that effort over this longer trip will see her go close. Her draw is a negative however so TEAMtalk opt for Bijan who won this race last year off a 10lb higher mark, is well drawn and rarely runs a bad race on this surface. Columbine hails from an out of form stable but he stands a chance here based on his effort over five furlongs last time out (though held by Sal's Gal) and he has shown in the past that this extra furlong is not a problem. Whizz Kid is remarkably well handicapped on previous efforts and if he comes here in good condition he can go close.
