Nothing strong in an open contest but MAC AILEY continues to ply his trade consistently well and should be in the mix off a mark which has steadily inched down to 57 and with trip and ground to suit. He's gone well in the past for amateur and conditional pilots, whilst the addition of first-time cheekpieces could aid his cause. Highlight Reel has the assistance of Serena Brotherton and is only 3lb higher for last month's course and distance win. He should be competitive again on that evidence, whilst Rhyme Scheme is expected to be on the premises for Josephine Gordon after a sequence of solid efforts. The in-form Dandy's Angel is also respected along with Contrast.
