It’s been sometime since Rousayan last won here but he scored off today’s mark at Pontefract last summer. Dawaaleeb and Strawberry Jack were both winners on the all-weather earlier this year though neither figured on the Turf last time and a chance is taken on BLONDE WARRIOR. He’s yet to win a handicap but has slid down the weights and will be sharper for last month’s comeback run and debut for David O’Meara. Rux Ruxx is another expected to improve for a recent reappearance at Musselburgh but Mogsy returned a losing favourite at Hamilton last time.
