Corton Lad is getting closer as he slides down the handicap and is preferred to Dalshand, who was still beaten 10 lengths when runner-up at Pontefract. Ingleby Hollow remains in fine form and won over 1m6f at Wetherby in between placed efforts over shorter trips but Braes Of Lochalsh faces a more difficult task after a better effort over 1m7f here a fortnight ago. WOR LASS got her head back in front with a success over 1m6f at Musselburgh recently. Upped only 2lb for that, she remains on a winning mark and gets the vote to go in again.
