Most of these arrive in good form in what is a very good turnout. The booking of Kieren Fallon for the hat-trick seeking The Nifty Fox speaks for itself and rowing in with in-form sprinters is always a solid strategy. However, RASAMAN finally came good at Doncaster last time over today's forecast conditions and has displayed an improved level of form the last twice in headgear. A 3lb rise for that Yorkshire success is acceptable. No Hubris has more to do than when landing a modest Hamilton affair whilst recent Pontefract scorer, Spinatrix, has plenty on at the weights. The consistent Diman Waters should give another solid account for Eric Alston and is not discounted.
