OTTO OYL, a winner at Southwell in March, followed a close second at Nottingham by landing an apprentice race at Ayr last week for which he goes unpenalised. His rider can claim her 7lb allowance this time so he looks very well in. Kylie Rules is a four-times track winner who is now on her lowest-ever mark so she should be thereabouts but Clotherholme appears to like some give in the ground. Martin's Brig could provide the main threat as he wasn't beaten far on his return from a long break here earlier this month.
