After disappointing in the spring, LAYLA'S HERO has been turned around by a switch of stables. Despite collecting a penalty for his win at Newcastle, John Quinn's four-year-old is still well treated on his old form and can score again today. Esprit De Midas beat Tombi in a claimer at Carlisle last month but has more on his plate here and Dandy Nicholls' best hope of success may lie with recent Hamilton second Amenable. C&D winner Jeannie Galloway is also worth a second look and veteran River Falcon loves to weave his way through these big fields and will enjoy the ground more than most though is possibly better over a fast-run 5f than this longer trip. Mappin Time was only put 3lb after winning at Chester but could be vulnerable on this easier surface.
