CONTRAST completed a double over today’s trip last year and has quickly slipped back down the weights. He’ll be sharper for last month’s comeback run and is preferred to Global Exceed. The latter attempts 1m2f for the first time having won over a mile at Redcar before running well again at Hamilton recently while Imperial Focus also scored at Redcar last month and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today. The veteran Graceful Act scored over track and trip in this grade last year and Easy Desire has more scope than most.
