Deben and Harbour Patrol have both won on the all-weather this year and have past form on this surface with the latter preferred off his current mark. Supreme Power has yet to win but finished closer at Newcastle back in January while Motahassen never threatened in Ireland last year and makes his handicap debut for new connections. MELANIEMILLIE soon faded out of contention on her recent reappearance over 6f here. But she went close over today’s trip at Musselburgh in October and Ruth Carr’s filly may prove good enough today on that form.
