Captain Scooby is having his 140th start and has won 11 times. He'll enjoy the give in the ground more than most but he's 9lb higher than his last success. GONINODAETHAT was in cracking form at this time a year ago, scoring twice on this track on ground with plenty of give. He hasn't been at his best but is very well handicapped and looks the one to be on. Orient Sky hasn't had much racing and his best run came on good to soft going at Hamilton so he should be capable of better, while Affectionate Lady wasn't beaten far over the minimum trip at Hamilton last time where she was staying on at the finish.
