Simply Blessed (5/2), Lee Side Lady (3/1), Findusatgorcombe (5/1), Mount Vesuvius (5/1), Little Windmill (5/1), Miss Mayfair (6/1), Drive On Locky (12/1), Burgess View (33/1)
Stamina looks a pre-requisite to success and Drive On Locky has little to fear on that score and this Brendan Powell trained dual Plumpton scorer might be a shade fitter than when lining up at Southwell last month and shouldn't be readily dismissed. However, LITTLE WINDMILL is worth chancing as he seeks to take advantage of a lower hurdles mark (still a maiden) than over fences (three time winner). He is another horse who has proven stamina and appears to relish a decent racing surface which should be on the cards.
- Little Windmill
- Drive On Locky
