Floramoss (2/1), Beyondtemptation (9/4), Baby Ticker (11/4), Verona Opera (4/1), Hope's Wishes (11/2)
Baby Ticker was poised to strike at Sedgefield last time until disaster struck and she can again go well despite an 8lb rise, though this is one of those races where a case can be made for all five runners. The strongest of them today might be that of FLORAMOSS, whose trainer reported was raring to go ahead of this. She brings some decent form to the table and in the forecast testing ground, her proven stamina could be the trump card, so she could provide Gillian Boanas with a first winner. Beyond Temptation is feared if her last run signalled a revival in fortunes.
