BALLYMAC SARGIE (4) is a promising dog in the frame at 18 of 49 starts including 21 wins and was in the minors again latest (28.60) over 480m at Newcastle. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Happy to have him on top this line-up. ROMEO ALONSO (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from the winner Fabulous Spell (43.32) at Newcastle. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must be included in calculations. WITTON GUCCI (3) resumed in a IV at Newcastle and finished fourth over 480m (28.97). Form here sound including two wins. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SUNNYSIDE NELLIE (5) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 590m at Star Pelaw. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.
