DANDY MAESTRO needs to be held up but was left with too much ground to make up at Ayr earlier in the week when bidding for a hat-trick. He’ll likely be ridden closer to the pace this time and has little to beat in this. Local Bay has been in the mix on Tapeta so far this year while Moonlit Cloud slides further down the weights but Accrington Stanley remains without a win after 26 attempts.
