LILI'S IMAGE had tonight's biggest rival Tap Song back in third when runner-up over 6f here last month and she can confirm placings whilst opening her account. The dropped-in-class Acquarossa could prove best of the remainder.
This prize could go the way of SIMPLY SPICY, who won impressively two starts ago before fairing with plenty of promise in stronger company last time. Huge Hope is another having his sights lowered and he merits shortlist inclusion, as does Sangria Wine.
NANNY'S PEACH showed a good attitude when squeezing through a tight gap to make a winning debut over track and trip and, open to any amount of improvement, she gets the vote to follow up. Intimidating Gal and Running For Boston could ask most questions.
GRANDE BASIN's excellent third in stakes company last time out sets the standard, and a reproduction of that effort should be sufficient here. He can open his account at the expense of Gallery and Just Stormin.
There's very little to choose between REPENTACIOUS and Peggy Joe, but narrow preference is for the former given that she had that rival in behind two starts ago. New Girl is the pick of the remainder.
SHINING COPPER brings the strongest form to the table and if he is anywhere near his best after a short break, he will be tough to beat. Adios Nardo merits serious consideration, while Knights Nation holds solid place claims.
FULL HEART finished runner-up in a more valuable race in November and is fancied to take advantage of a dip in class here. Chapter And Verse and Hidden Candy look the most likely dangers after running well in defeat recently.
RED STRIKE trailed a future winner when last sighted and gets the vote. No Spin ran a cracker in defeat recently and shouldn't be overlooked, while Al's Uncle had Gaelico in arrears when filling the runner-up spot last time and deserves close market inspection.
Several contenders drop in grade after lacklustre displays so M DICATION is given only a tentative vote despite lowering his sights from stakes company. Proven Warrior and Mean Marine are feared most.
THIS ONES FOR TONY is halved in claiming price after rattling the crossbar when last sighted and gets the vote. A spell on the sidelines is a concern, though, so Stylo and Legal Wager are worth further consideration.
