Captain Scooby would be the selection if taking part but was engaged at Hamilton yesterday. In the event of his absence, DISPOL GRAND can take advantage. He was just held by Wicked Wilma in a higher grade sprint in heavy ground at Thirsk last month and a reproduction of that run would see him go one better today. Sharp Shoes has the past form to figure, though he'd have stronger claims on a faster surface, while the remainder are all struggling for form and hard to fancy as a consequence.
