FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MADS BLACK EIGHTS has a poor record at this distance but is worth another try and has good recent form. She has beaten just four rivals in three previous runs at this trip but has good form over slightly shorter distances and ran well here last week. Je T'ai Porte was behind the selection last week and tries this distance for the first time while Adamaris was well held on a recent run but was ahead of the selection over course and distance in November and will appreciate stepping back up in distance. Angles In The Sky was second in a lesser handicap over CD recently while capable hurdler Efferknock Fizz was well held on her recent all-weather runs. John Alexander makes his handicap debut but is comfortably held by the selection on a line through Chocolat Blu, winner of his recent maiden run.
