Jack Mitchell has amassed a 17.5% strike rate in the last 14 days, which makes him an in-form jockey here. He teams up with a rather in-and-out type in the form of Ernie's Valentine from a yard that is firing recently. Has won in class four previously and back to class five here again. Hasn't been on the boil, admittedly, but that wee freshen-up between races for a horse who has possibly not had as many freshen-ups during his career could bring a form turnaround. The polytrack should help the cause too.

The Teal yard has produced some good results recently, and "stable form is good form" is an old racing adage. That's what I'm hoping for here - a flow-on effect from having their stable runners all firing at the same time. This three-year-old filly is still learning, but this is an open field. With Jack Mitchell in the saddle and on a poly surface, she could be ready to strike at sizeable odds. There were signs of improvement on this type of surface at her penultimate appearance when fifth, and some improvement off the back of that last run could see her in the finish.
