A case of quantity over quality in this opening contest, with CLAIRMC fancied to put her experience to good use and come out on top having shaped as if her recent handicap debut seventh at Galway was possibly needed. Second choice is Sainte Dona, who should take a step forward from her recent comeback outing, while Run For Eric and Whiskey Lady are another couple worth considering.
