Another race on today’s card in which the McCain stable hold a strong hand. TARAGRACE, not beaten far in her last two runs here, is preferred to the luckless Never No Trouble with Charlie Maggs claiming 10lb. Balranald was in good form around here at the start of the summer and Ragamuffin looked to be on the way back when second at Worcester a week ago. Market Rasen runner-up Calvic makes his handicap debut and My Poem followed up a win at Worcester with a second at Uttoxeter so can’t be ignored.
