It could be worth siding with LIKEDBYMIKE, who was probably unsuited by the testing conditions when seventh in the 5f handicap won by Staysound Susie here at the end of last season. She enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival and is likely to represent some value. Staysound Susie is nevertheless greatly respected on the back of another good effort at this course recently, while Asdana, who was second to Andrew Slattery's charge here in November, also needs considering.
