Last-time-out winners FOOTSY and Gerrots should both be in the thick of things once again. The latter's breakthrough success was gained over 16.6f but he was runner-up over C&D in October and dropping back to this trip shouldn't be an issue. However, marginal preference is for Robert Stephens' charge, who has fewer miles on the clock and the booking of Rossa Ryan adds to his appeal. Black Smoke was a creditable third to the selection here and is third choice ahead of Vienna Girl.
