Earn Your Stripes scored over track and trip a fortnight ago with both Absolute Dream and Sixcor behind and is 4lb higher. Water Of Leith has switched yards since winning at Carlisle while Cowboy Soldier debuts for a new trainer and is fitted with a tongue-tie after finishing third at Wetherby. But MAPLE JACK would have finished closer than fourth in a Class 4 sprint here last time if getting a clear run and Julie Camacho’s charge makes most appeal dropping down a couple of grades for this.
